Today I Am Quotes

Today I… Sit in Stillness

October 23, 2019 By Patricia Atchison Leave a Comment

When we take time out of our day to be mindful, to be in the moment, to pause, is when we can see things around us that bring us joy, such as the beauty of a sunrise, or ice crystals in the air, a butterfly flitting about or a colourful rainbow. In my Today I Am… An Empowering Journal Back To Self, I talk about the practice of becoming mindful; that mindfulness is the state of becoming conscious and aware. It reminds us to return to the present moment and become aware of our feelings, thoughts, and body sensations.

Many years ago, my family moved out to the country, and I became a stay-at-home Mom. I left the inner city corporate world of computer programming and systems, settling myself into country life. After the stress of the move and fitting into a new community, I soon learned to take note of my surroundings.

Today… Don’t Get Too Comfortable

Today I Am Quote from Patricia L. AtchisonI wrote the quote pictured here some time ago as a reflection of the way my life has always been. Today is no different, and tomorrow too. It seems if I get comfortable, many things in my life change. The Universe has a way of reminding one that life’s lessons are not over, and it’s time to ‘move on.’

Part of my’ moving on’ in 2019 was to write and compile a journal using quotes I’ve written over several years of learning how to find my way back to self. It’s titled, Today I AM… An Empowering Journal Back To Self.

I struggled through mishaps, accidents, and losses leading to a dark time in my life. Five years ago, realizing I was depressed, I asked myself, “Who am I?”. [Read more…] about Today… Don’t Get Too Comfortable
