My twist on that is that I use 'will' instead of 'must'. Similar to Jonathan I don't think I need to alter my emotional responses and I reject such demands even from myself. "Will", "want" and sometimes "am" all work better for me. (This can just mean leaving off the first sentence there.)
That makes sense to me. "Must" implies a moral code; if you decline to accept responsibility from any external moral code, you could interpret it as "must, according to rational methods of achieving my personal goals," but there's no advantage to that circuitous interpretation over the changes you suggest.
Exactly the reasoning I use.
