[{aspiring_to_clarity}]

I am hopeful that some of you here may be able to help me as I am new to the LoA idea. I really like what I've read so far and just from thinking about the idea itself, I already feel more positive in general.

My specific question has to do with relationships, particularly with SOs. I would like to know how to word an intention to bring about positive change in a relationship that has suffered from a lot of negativity and mistrust. I have been in a foul, depressed mood lately (a downward spiral really), but after reading about I-M I have tried to take negative thoughts and replace them with positive assertions for our relationship. I just started today, and already I feel more optimistic, but I would like to know how to proceed. My SO is also very depressed right now, and is not the type to try things like this. Can I do it alone? Can I help him feel better about himself? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks all.
Jen
