Horse Hippie’s Morning Mantras

Expectations

Morning Mantra: "Trade your expectation for appreciation and the world changes instantly."  The world doesn't owe you a thing. That comes from a sense of entitlement. You expect a certain outcome because you WANT it. Then you get disappointed that you didn't get it. Expectations are disappointments waiting to happen.  So what can you do to manage your expectations? Ask yourself what you are expecting from a situation and why. Look for the positive in what you already have to reduce the wanting. Be generous to others without expecting anything in return to reduce disappointment if they don't reciprocate.  Let go of always striving for more and being disappointed if you don't get there. Know that your best is good enough. Accepting and taking all that is good from the present moment, because in reality, that is all we ever have. Expect less, appreciate more. #BeWillingToAppreciateYourLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#

Mindfull

Morning Mantra:  "Mind: If you let go, you'll fall. Heart: If you let go, you'll hurt. Soul: If you let go, you're free." Your Mind is your thoughts. How you think is based on life experiences, conditioning, and external influences.  Your Heart is your emotions. How you feel is created based on how you think about your experiences; how you felt when something happened, or anticipation of future ones. Your Soul is who you are without any external influence or thoughts about your past or future. It is your essence. It is your consciousness. Mindfulness helps you become aware of your soul (who you truly are) and to step away from your automatic, habitual reactions to your experiences. Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what is actually happening, and the stories we tell ourselves about what is happening. #BeMindfulOfYourSoul#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Beauty

Morning Mantra: "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." Beauty is not about make-up, flawless skin, flowing hair or the thinness of your body. Beauty comes from within and it reflects in your eyes, your posture, your behavior. How you "look" is an outward expression of how you feel. If you try to look beautiful but don't really feel it, it will show. If you feel beautiful in your own skin, within your heart, you will have an inner glow. Being yourself and embracing your inner beauty allows you to accept yourself and others for who they ARE, not what they look like. This is so difficult now with everyone judging each other so easily and anonymously on social media!  Beauty is a power and kindness is it's language. #BeYourBeautifulSelf#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique#madebywomenforwomen#wherebohomeetsequestrian#boho #bohostyle#bohemianstyle #hippie#hippiestyle #hippievibes#hippiegirl #horsehippie#equestrian #equestrianstyle#horsegirl #horselover#horsesofinstagram

Feeling Lost

Morning Mantra: "Sometimes feeling lost is the first step in truly finding yourself." It's a quiet ache that shows up when life is full—but you still feel empty.  Or a sense that you’re going through the motions, but not truly connected.  Or maybe a longing for something more—without knowing what “more” even is. Maybe that’s where you are right now.  Feeling lost. And maybe, you’ve noticed how that ache lingers quietly in the background—then flares up in unexpected moments. When you feel lost in life—but nothing is “wrong”—it’s tempting to push that feeling aside.  To keep functioning. Keep showing up. Keep doing what needs to be done. But this feeling isn’t something to be ignored because it’s a signal.  A quiet invitation back to yourself.  Here are some questions to ask yourself to figure out a way forward: When do you feel most at ease or alive? What have you always been curious about? When do you feel most like yourself? You don’t need all the answers to begin—you just need a willingness to turn inward and listen.  That quiet ache you’ve been feeling? It’s not something to fear or fix. It’s an invitation. A nudge from the deeper parts of you, asking to be seen, known, and remembered.  So pause. Get still. Be honest. Then start with small, measurable steps. #BeCalledBackToYourself  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique

Your Intuition

Morning Mantra: "Intuition doesn't tell you what you want to hear, it tells you what you need to hear." Have you ever made a decision based purely on a gut feeling? You couldn’t explain it, but you just knew? Have you ever experienced an "Aha" moment? Some call it a gut instinct or sixth sense.  Perhaps you’ve also heard it described as an inner voice or knowing.  Although it may be referred to by a variety of terms, we’re all talking about the same thing – intuition.   Intuition is a deep sense of inner knowing.  It’s a visceral feeling that tells you when something is right for you, and often when it’s not. You might think of intuition as your higher self or a higher power that guides you.  I believe intuition is that little voice within telling you what you already know is true.  It will always be there, regardless of if you choose to listen to it. The problem is that it’s not always easy to hear your intuition and to listen to it.   Because from the time we were little, most of us have been told that someone else knows best. There are ways to determine if it's your intuition or just fear "talking" to you.  Intuition is a felt in deep inside you- mainly in your gut- those gut feelings of butterflies, or a sinking feeling.  Another way you might feel it that you know something is "off"- not always in a bad way- just not right. If you have something that you can't stop thinking about or a situation that keeps presenting itself- that's your intuition nudging you to do something! Seeing symbols, repeated numbers and signs are another way your inner voice is speaking to you.  Now you just have to stop, notice and go inward to reflect on the message. Your intuition will never steer you wrong and learning how to trust and act on it will unlock your greatest gifts in life. #BeWillingToListenToYourGut #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique
