Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Your Life is Your Spiritual Path

Morning Mantra: "Be where your feet are." For me, this mantra means staying grounded and present in my lived human experience, being mindful and having awareness, and enjoying the moment. The great risk these days it is that there are so many other things that can become a surrogate for being present to life. We can get so caught up in the availability of information and knowledge that we latch on to the latest and greatest guru or theory to find our spiritual path to becoming who we are meant to be. I have learned that I don’t need to seek a spiritual path outside of myself. My life is my spiritual path. The next moment is my teacher. Everything that unfolds in my life is a part of the pathway.  The secret is to sit at the feet of my own life and be taught by it. Every experience, event, circumstance, happening, and situation in life can be a stepping stone in the pathway of becoming, including moments of hardship, adversity, and suffering. You don't need to seek the answers outside of yourself, your life, or your journey. Just be present for it. #BeCome #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

The Darker it is the Brighter You Shine

Morning Mantra: “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.”  If you find yourself with others who are angry, hateful, resentful, discouraged, and critical, that's when you can make the most difference by shining your positive light. It is not easy. All too often we react to negativity by being negative, but that just escalates the energy.  When those around you are frustrated and impatient, make an effort to be extra calm and composed.  When those around you are angry, strive to be the voice of reason and compassion.  When those around you are discouraged, offer hope. The darker it is around you, the more your light is needed. So shine on beautiful soul. #BeTheDifference #BeHappy#BeHorsey #BeHippie#HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Doing Nothing

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes, you just need to be." We are constantly seeking... Validation. Love. Peace. Understanding. Knowledge. Rewards. Happiness. Achievement. To be different than we are. In all of this chasing and seeking we have forgotten how to not be doing something all. the. time. There is nothing wrong with going after what you want. But it's just as important to stop and just be. To let life flow TO us instead of trying to make it happen FOR us. Every once in a while stop. Reconnect to yourself and nature. Re-evaluate your goals. Re-discover what really matters.  #BeOkayWithJustBeing#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Progress towards your goal is the Goal

Morning Mantra: "Strive for progress not perfection."   It's not about being perfect, it's about the effort you put in. When you bring that effort every single day, that's when transformation happens.  Slow, focused progress towards your goal. Can it be uncomfortable to take action? Sure it can, but in order to accomplish anything worthwhile, you must step outside your comfort zone.  You must risk failure and being less than perfect.   Achieving a goal is about more than what you accomplish, it's about who you become along the way.  The subtle changes in your confidence, your attitude and your strength.  Your progress won't always be graceful, but it's still a step in the right direction. #BeFocusedOnProgress  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InsppirationalQuotes #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotesforEquestrians #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Why Not Just Ask?

Morning Mantra: "If you never ask, the answer is always 'No'."  This is one of my favorite things to tell people because 65% of the time you ask for something you get it.  That's a pretty good statistic.  So why are we so hesitant to ask for even a simple thing like a better seat, for the restaurant to prepare your food the way you want it, or for a refund? If we find it hard to ask for something simple, how can we expect to ask for something harder like a raise, an apology, or for help? Most of the time this comes from fear and fear comes from uncertainty.  So, when you are absolutely certain that you deserve what you are asking for, you will have the confidence to ask. Confidence doesn't come from thinking you'll be better if you get what you want, it's knowing you'll be fine if you don't.  Believe in yourself enough to ask for what you desire and remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained. #BeWillingToAsk  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra  #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique
