these are great questions. my experience has been that different approaches work for different personalities. i think all three of these questions can be powerful motivators, depending on your personal make-up and where you’re at in your life.

e.g., at this point in my life, and with my INFP personality, “time to stop bitching” doesn’t do very much for me but “be the change you want to see” has always been a powerful motivator for me.

"this has to stop". "i need to get it to where ... ". "i'm making a commiment". "i will not tolerate". you're one awesome woman. it's interesting, too, that that both of you, nickie and merelyme, are people dealing with severe chronic conditions. coincidence? powerful stuff, nickie. i love how forceful your language is. “this has to stop”. “i need to get it to where … “. “i’m making a commiment”. “i will not tolerate”.
