Use Affirmations For Relationship Change
Affirmations are one way you can focus on seeing changes in others and your thinking about a relationship. Use affirmations to watch for "evidence" which is naturally difficult to find when relationships are struggling with a problem. "I look for evidence of changes in (insert name)." is a quick example.
Some people make up affirmations. Others use something prewritten that is inspiring---a motivational book, the Bible or a statement they find. An affirmation states things positively such as "I now embrace a trusting attitude" after an affair (along with working on the issue). "I am attracting loving, healthy relationships" for someone who wants this in their life.

I have been using affirmations for about 18 months---believe me, they really work!
The two I'm working with right now are:
"Today I have an attitude of gratitude...I know that healing happens!" and "I am being healed! Yes, it is true. Right now, at this very moment, God is healing me of the desire for junk foods."
The first one was set to a catchy little tune that a friend helped me create---it really starts the day out right when I start singing it (even to myself).
I found it helpful to take the affirmations that I like and print them out on business cards---that way I can carry them with me where ever I go.
