Affirmations for
Feeling Absent Minded

It is common in the early days of grief for the mind not to retain information as usual. Instead of reprimanding myself, I will be gentle, reminding myself that it’s okay if my attention span is shorter right now.

There may be times when my memory is not very clear or as though I am experiencing life from a great distance rather than feeling present. When I experience this kind of absent feeling, I will treat myself with kindness, and take a few deep breaths as I let myself focus on something that is in the present.

I may not be able to recall things as quickly or as accurately as I have in the past. I can write myself a note to help me to remember things.
