Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

In Tune With Your Emotions

Morning Mantra: "Don't promise when you are happy, don't reply when you are angry, and don't decide when you are sad."  Emotions are tricky.  The word emotion means energy in motion.  This energy (emotion) can be fleeting, so when we make decisions based on them, we can end up wishing we hadn't. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of how your emotions drive your behavior.   Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.  It allows us to respond instead of react. The emotionally, intelligent person is skilled in four areas; identifying emotions,  using emotions,  understanding emotions, and regulating emotions. Emotional intelligence is not about rainbows and unicorns, it’s about mastering the messy art of handling your own, and other people’s emotions. #BeInTuneWithYourEmotions #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Do it for Fun!

Morning Mantra: "Being good at something shouldn't be the point of doing it."  We are all raised in such an achievement-oriented society that we believe our worth lies in our level of talent.  We are led to believe that we should only do something if we can win or be a success.  We are taught that we shouldn't bother unless we are good at it. What if we flip the script by trying something and doing things simply because we ENJOY them?  What if doing a bunch of different things, regardless of how well we do them, makes us a more interesting person?  Isn't that the point of life anyway? To have fun?  To experience everything we desire, to expand our reach, to push our limits?  To learn, grow and explore? Life shouldn't be about winning and losing, the journey is more important than the outcome so ENJOY!! Do the thing, even if you aren't any good at it. #BeInteresting  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotesAboutLife

The Way You Look at Life

Morning Mantra: Replace “Why is this happening to me?” With “What is this teaching me?” Life doesn't happen TO you, it just happens and then you respond to what happens.  Your attitude when you respond can make all the difference in your happiness and desire to learn and grow. For example, you will never learn how to be brave, unless you feel fear. You will never learn what not to do, if you never make mistakes. You will never reach your dreams, unless you learn how to overcome failure.  Learning how to look at obstacles, set backs and problems as opportunities instead of punishments is the key to loving life! It’s the purpose of the journey.  Life becomes a whole lot easier when you recognize this and look for the lessons. #BeALooker #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantras #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique

Thanksgiving Attitude

Morning Mantra: "Gratitude and attitude are choices.” Choosing to be thankful for who and what’s in your life instead of complaining about what you don’t have will change everything.  Gratitude is an antidote to negative emotions, a neutralizer of envy, hostility, worry, and irritation. Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life, even if it’s scarce, even if it’s hard to find, is the foundation for all abundance and happiness. Gratitude is an attitude, it's a way of being, a way to look at life.  Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Recognizing and giving thanks lays groundwork for an attitude of gratitude.  An attitude that will lead to contentment. On this Thanksgiving morning, may you choose to be grateful.  Write down as many things you are thankful for. Post this list where you can see it.  Let it be the beginning of a LIFE of gratitude- not just a day. #BeThankfulAndGrateful #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask for Help

Morning Mantra: "Borrow someone else's light until your light can shine brightly again."  Strength, peace, and courage can all come and go when we are faced with trials.  Sometimes you need to hang onto some else's hope. Someone else's peace and sanity while yours is under siege. Make sure to let people know when your strength is fading, when your light is dimming.  Look for their light to guide you.  God works through people but many times we are too proud or stubborn or embarrassed to seek support. But remember, there is nothing impressive about struggling when you don't need to. Most people will gladly lend a hand if they are aware of your need.  So borrow their light.  Then, when you are able, shine your light for others. #BeWillingToAskForHelpAndThenOfferItToOthers #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique
