Rules for Serenity
Today, I will live my day fully, without worrying about how to work out all my problems in one day.
Today, I will take care of my physical appearance. I will eat right and exercise.
Today, I will be kind and polite to others.
Today, I will try not to be better than anyone else. I will just be the best me.
Today, I will be happy.
Today, I will adapt to the tasks I face, without expecting the tasks to adapt to me.
Today, I will dedicate 20 minutes to reading something constructive. Reading is good for my mental health.
Today, I will perform a good deed, without telling anyone about it.
Today, I will plan what I need to do, putting my most important activities on the top of the list.
Today, I will follow my plan carefully.
Today, I will not feel afraid.
Today, I will be able to enjoy life, and believe in kindness.

Heck, I had a therapist once who told me to stop worrying about being the "best me" and to concentrate instead on being the "me-est me". I'm still working on that one, but it's a good thought to keep in mind.
Another favorite phrase is "if you strive for perfection you will never achieve excellence".
