We have found that saying affirmations helps us replace negative thoughts with positive ones.  Some may strike you as good personal goals.  "Take what you like and leave the rest."

I nurture my spirit by surrounding myself with beauty and harmony. I believe I am entitled to surrounding of serenity and order and joyous life. I set reasonable goals, remembering that my first priority is my well-being. I schedule what I can do at a comfortable pace.  I rest before I get tired. I allot more time than I need for a task or trip, allowing a comfortable margin for the unexpected. I decide which are the most important things to do first. I do one thing at a time. I schedule quiet time for communing with my Higher Power.  Before I accept any new commitments, I first ask for guidance from my Higher Power. I eliminate an activity from my schedule before adding one that demands equivalent time and energy. When I feel overwhelmed, I stop and reconnect with my Higher Power. I allocate space and time for anything new that I bring into my life or home. I simplify my life, believing that when I need a fact or an item it will be available to me. I affirm abundance and prosperity, thus I release the need to hoard. I ask for help if I have any difficulties in working the program. I schedule time for play and rest, refusing to work non-stop. I believe that I can recover from cluttering and use my experience to benefit others. I accept my progress as proceeding in God's time.  I know that patience, tolerance, and taking my time aids me in my recovery I am gentle with my efforts, knowing that my new way of living requires much practice. I do not yield to pressure or attempt to pressure others. I realize that I am already where I will always be, in the here and now.  I live each moment with serenity, joy and gratitude.
