Morning Mantra: “Train yourself to take nothing personally.”

Ugh, this is a hard one.
We can get so bent out of shape by what others do or say when the truth is, they RARELY do it to us on purpose.

Most of the time they aren’t even aware of us, or thinking of us, when they do something dumb or cruel.

That guy in the car that cut you off or won’t let you merge? He doesn’t even know you. He’s just inconsiderate. That's HIS problem. Don't make it yours. Let it go.

That girl at the barn or office that gossips about you? That isn’t YOUR problem, it’s hers. She lacks empathy, consideration, and boundaries. You reacting won’t change her. Let it go.

Even if it seems personal, it’s probably not. People don’t do things because of us, they do it because of them. Because of their pain, their own twisted reality, their own lack of morals, kindness, and love.

Silently wish them well, then move on.
I know…. it’s hard, but so is feeling offended all the time.

Yes to kindness…. 💜

Morning Mantra: “Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another soul that there is love to be found in the world.”

Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle. And boy! does it feel like the world is struggling right now.

To often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring. It seems so simple yet it appears to be difficult to find kindness sometimes.

Nobody really knows how much anyone else is hurting. You could be standing next to someone who is completely broken and you’d never know.

You could be the only person that reaches out to someone all day.
Your kind words could turn someone's life around.

Kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.

So, always be kind.
With yourself and others.

Morning Mantra: “There will always be someone who doesn’t see your worth, don’t let it be you.”

You are your own best friend, your biggest supporter, your cheerleader and your hero. Don’t stand in your own way because somewhere along your journey someone made you feel less than.

Only YOU can be YOU. Only you can completely understand you. Only you can fully love you. You have been given every tool, every talent, and every trait you need to realize your potential. Embrace who you are while you become who you are meant to be.

You can be both a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.

Morning Mantra: “Don’t trust everything your mind is telling you.”

It all begins and ends with your mind and what you think. If your mind tells you that you aren’t good enough you will begin to believe it.

If your mind reacts with anxiety or fear in a stressful situation, you will be stressed and fearful. If you think you can’t do something, you’ll stay stuck.

If you interpret someone’s behavior as a reflection of your worth, then you won’t behave in a way that opens your heart for a deeper connection.

Control your mind and you can change your life. Grab your power back, don’t believe everything you think. Calm your thoughts. Get out of your head and back to your heart. Step back from your immediate reaction and look for the truth.

Make sure your own worst enemy isn’t living between your own two ears.

Truth

Morning Mantra: “There is only one thing that makes someone change, their own realization that they need to do it.”

No one changes unless they want to.
Not if you beg them.
Not if you shame them.
Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love.

They must realize that they need to do it.
And there is only one time it will happen, when THEY decide they are ready.
Because they won't change if they don't see an issue in their attitude or actions.

Consider how hard it is to change yourself, and you’ll realize how little chance you have of forcing change on someone else.

Morning Mantra: “Your power lies in choosing your responses not controlling their actions.”

Sometimes the most empowering thing you can do is let them.
Let them be wrong.
Let them misunderstand.
Let them judge.
Let them gossip.
Let them overreact.
Let them ignore you.
Let them choose to create chaos.

Your power lies in choice. Choosing to react indicates your boundaries are lost. Choosing to not react lets you stay in control of your peace. It lets you respond how, when, and if you want to.
Remember, not responding is a response.

Morning Mantra: "If you don't recognize that perfect is the enemy of good, you'll miss a lot of joy."

Stop trying to be perfect, it's not possible. It can actually have the reverse affect on your happiness. For no one and nothing is perfect, and if that is the standard you have set, you will constantly be unhappy, and you will miss the wonder in the average, or good enough.

Try being the best version of yourself. Try creating the best you can make. Try doing the best you can do.

There is so much joy to be found when you stop needing everything to be, or appear, perfect. Give yourself a break, and .

Morning Mantra: “Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create.”

Life is all about balance. The fine art of holding on and letting go. The choice to ignore the chaos in the outer world to restore peace in your inner self. Doing too much of this and not enough of that.

When one thing takes too much of your time, you suffer. When a responsibility becomes a chore, you suffer. When the energy vampires require too much of you, you suffer.

Working towards balance, takes a lot of ingredients. You need courage, reflection, attention, action, and a push and pull relationship between effort and relaxation.
It helps to always stay grounded and true to what brings you joy and fills your spirit with harmony. Your requirements to yourself are number one and essential to staying whole, healthy, and connected to all that makes you, you.

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Morning Mantra: “You are not alone.”

No matter how happy someone may seem, they have moments when they feel like they can’t go on.
No matter how confident someone may look, there are times when they feel unsure and insecure.
And no matter how strong someone may appear, they have days when they feel like they’re falling apart.
Never think for a moment you’re alone with your struggles. You’re not a mess. You’re human.
Everyone has problems in life, no matter how perfect their life may seem. We’re all humans trying to live, that in itself makes us more connected than anything else.

Morning Mantra: “Change is inevitable, growth is optional.”

Change is inevitable in life. You can either resist it and potentially get run over by it, or you can choose to cooperate with it, adapt to it, and learn how to benefit from it.
When you embrace change, you will begin to see it as an opportunity for growth. The first step towards growth during change is awareness of this opportunity. The second step is acceptance of how your life will change.

Once you put your attention, your thoughts, and your energy, on a new intention for change, that’s when you begin to grow. When you change with intention to grow, it doesn’t leave any room for doubt, fear or maneuvering to creep in. You go through it with the intention to create growth within yourself out of the circumstances that you are now experiencing.

Morning Mantra: “Life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and you center it on what’s happening inside you instead.”

I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything. It won’t make people suddenly love and respect me. It won’t magically change their minds.

Sometimes it’s better to...
just let things be,
let people go,
don’t fight for closure,
don’t ask for explanations,
don’t chase answers,
and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.
Work on yourself and your inner peace instead.

Morning Mantra: “Despite how you feel about your life, get up, show up and never give up.”

Studies show that even when you’re feeling down, if you look for something positive, things will get better quicker. Just finding some little thing to feel good about can improve your attitude, which will improve your thinking, which will improve your behavior, which will increase the probability of positive change.

Condition yourself to look for the joy even when your heart is broken, or you’ve been knocked down by life. It helps to remember that just about everything is temporary. It may not be today, this week, this month or maybe even this year, but this valley of life you are in will eventually get better.

But you can’t give up. You can’t be swallowed by the darkness. You must find that little sliver of light in your life Every. Single. Day.

When you do this, you foster hope. You tell the universe that you BELIEVE that things will get better. If you really do believe it, you will receive it.

Horse ministry…
Providing safe space to Just Be & Just Breathe for the true self God created!
May we be on a continuous growth journey to discover that true self…
Because most of us are hurting, broken in some way or another,
and in need to be seen, and loved…if we are authentically honest!
🙏🏻🐴❤️
Thank you God for creating the horse! All they know is to be authentic, and their top priority is safety…
One of my true loves is to provide that safe space for my horses to just be and just breathe…🩵
Principles of horsemanship that apply to our own lives..
That is why I started, and why I must continue…
one day at a time,
one encounter at a time,
one experience at a time,
one horse at a time,
one human at a time…
Thank you Lord for your “yes”…
🙏🏻❤️🐴

Remember why you started. ♥️

Morning Mantra: “Don’t let the ugly in others kill the beauty in you.”

People can be really ugly to one another. But that doesn’t mean you have to be one of them. Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problem.

You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just stay soft.

Don't let the world make you hard. Don't let the pain make you hate. Don't let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings, and emotions.

Morning Mantra: “Find people who get you so you don’t have to spend your lifetime translating your soul.”

Life is hard enough without adding to it by being with people that don’t understand you or let you be who you are. One of the best feelings is finding someone who really gets you.

A person that lets you be vulnerable and honest. The kind of person who makes you want to be your best even though they accept you as you are. Someone who never tells you that you’re too much of this and too little of that. Because to them, you’re just enough of everything they love.

Find people who love you well. Who never belittle you even in the heat of an argument. Who are gentle with you, but do not treat you like you are fragile. Who know what you’re capable of and celebrates those pieces of you.

Find people who practice forgiveness freely and apologize willingly. Find people who are compassionate, kind, and considerate. Those are your people.

Morning Mantra: “Sometimes asking for help is the bravest thing you can do.”

Some people aren’t good at asking for help because they’re so used to being ‘the helper’. Throughout their life they’ve experienced an unbalanced give and take, so their instinct is usually “I’ll do it on my own.”

This is actually a trauma response. People that are afraid to ask for help have been let down by those that should be there for them so many times that they develop this attitude of self-reliance. They think this makes them stronger.

But, asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to be vulnerable and admit that you don’t know something or can’t do something on your own.

When you are vulnerable you open yourself up to authentic relationships, to learning something new. Even if you get let down by those you ask, you still gain knowledge of who you can trust with your vulnerability.

Morning Mantra: “How people treat you is their path, how you respond to them is yours.”

If someone cares about you, they care about how their actions impact you and how they make you feel.
That’s all you need to know about people if you want them in your life.

So, if someone treats you like they don’t care, believe them. Don’t try and change or shame them- it’s their journey. But you don’t have to let it change how you feel about yourself.

Take your power back. See it for what it is- a statement of who THEY are.

Morning Mantra: “Kindness is the new cool.”

Being a good person doesn’t depend on your religion (or lack of), your status, race, culture, political views or gender. It depends on how you treat others.

Be the reason someone smiles today. Be the reason they feel loved, appreciated, heard and seen. Be the reason they believe in the goodness of people.
