No Regrets

No Regrets

Morning Mantra: "As you age you'll find the biggest regrets are the things you didn't do." Your 80 year old self doesn't wish you had been more perfect.  She wishes you had been more honest about what you wanted, and brave enough to build your life around it. In our country we tend to focus on how we look and what we own thanks to a consumer driven culture.  They NEED us to buy their stuff so they promote those ideals.  Chasing dreams into nature, living simply but happy, and showing yourself some grace about your looks don't sell products. But as you age the things that really matter become much clearer.  I have discovered that I can love myself if I'm 20 lbs more than I thought was my ideal weight and that I enjoy my meals more because I am not eliminating my favorite foods to stay thin. I have discovered that being in nature, with my horse and/or my dog brings me more pleasure than chasing points at a horse show.  In the past I thought to be  relevant meant I had to be competing. I have stopped apologizing for being loud, talking a lot, and having a busy brain.  Sure, I am still aware of the impact of my behavior and work on things, but I am who I am and I have spent far too much of my life trying to be someone else.  Don't wait until you're old to discover your bliss and to build your life around it.  Don't settle for a life that doesn't make you excited about the new day. Be brave in pursuit of it.  You won't regret it. #BeHonestWithYourself [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behonestwithyourself?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHappy [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behappy?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHorsey [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behorsey?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #BeHippie [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/behippie?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippie [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippie?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #MorningMantra [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/morningmantra?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #WordsToInspire [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wordstoinspire?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #InspirationalQuotes [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/inspirationalquotes?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #SmallBusinessOwner [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/smallbusinessowner?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #WomenOwned [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/womenowned?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippieBoutique [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippieboutique?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #MorningMotivation [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/morningmotivation?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #Equestrian [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/equestrian?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseLover [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horselover?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #QuotesToInspire [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/quotestoinspire?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R] #HorseHippieBoutique [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/horsehippieboutique?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZZb66giGbYvyk8lO9_WMR_7O4RIk3RvHmVeuxkj2uCyHcLmKLoHVVsSG4Ad89Sqs_0YwRW-hthcL3128XdxrKtAS0FFxAqrvJqv3He_N5k9U9FVJB12DBlp8mfxDK5M5PQzVj0_5RhJviGHlqYdM64P&__tn__=*NK-R]

Your Vibe Frequency

Morning Mantra: "Show me how good it gets and how easy it can be." The Universe is energy.  Your attitude puts you in a certain frequency.   Negative, grumpy, ungrateful thoughts will keep you in a low vibration.   Positive thoughts and intentions will have you in a higher one. Positive begets positive.  You attract what you put out.  So start the day, and throughout the day, send out high vibrations of love, gratitude, and authenticity. Find little things to say "Thanks" for.  How good your morning coffee or tea tastes.  The sound of the birds singing outside.  The warmth of the sun or refreshment of the rain.  Take time and really enjoy your food.  Notice small glimmers of joy throughout the day.   If you  get pulled into a negative state try to become aware of it and quickly let it go.  Breathe through it, refocus and try to not let it sabotage your day. It's a mindset.  It's a lifestyle.   #BeAPositiveVibration #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

It is What it is

Morning Mantra: "What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of how it’s supposed to be.”   The best way to avoid unhappiness is to simply allow life to not be perfect. The quickest way to achieve inner peace is to accept the world as it is.  Tires will go flat, people will disrespect you, and things will happen for no logical reason.   That is life. Take a deep breath, smile, and know that all is well because you have the strength to handle it.  Just try not to think life is not working out for you.  Maybe it's not what you thought right now but it's still pretty darn good.  Find something to love about today.  Just as it is. #BeAcceptingOfLifeAsItIs #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Learning to Love Yourself

Morning Mantra: "Once you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you."   Self-acceptance, self-love.  Both truly necessary for happiness.  Both very difficult to do at times. Owning your story and loving yourself through the process is the bravest thing you'll ever do.  It takes courage to face your darkness and find a way to shine your light.  We are quick to judge ourselves as unworthy, not good enough, unlovable.  But I say THIS. IS. ME.  Take me as I am. Just be yourself and let people see the real, quirky, imperfect, flawed, beautiful and magical person you are.  Then go out and SHINE. #BeASelfLover #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalquotes  Quotes:  Peter Dinglage and Brene Brown

Just Breathe

Morning Mantra: "Breathe. You got this."   For whoever needs this today…. Life can feel overwhelming at times. Just try and keep it in perspective and remember... You don't have to figure it out today. You don't have to solve your whole life tonight. You don't have to tackle everything at once. You just have to show up and try. You just have to focus on the moment in front of you. Things will get better. Things will get done. Just breathe and trust you will figure it out.  Just breathe and believe in the power of hope. #BePatientWithYourself #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes Image: Jacolien Frens
