Wax Frog, I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "face" the list and "inner work" is, in my opinion, part of balanced personal development, but it doesn't have to be hard. I love when Abraham says "a belief is a thought you keep thinking." It's no more complicated than that. So, choose to think a different thought. When the evil "I'm not ________ enough" thought comes around, you can ignore it (if you like). Sometimes, I like to thank it for sharing, personally, before ignoring it. Or just recognise it, "Oh, ya, that's that old programming. I'm going to think some different about myself from now on." Or my favorite mantra (comes from Glinda in The Wizard of Oz, when the Wicked Witch of the West threatens Dorothy for the first time in Munchkinland):

"Oooohoohoo....Rubbish! You have no power here. Begone! Before someone drops a house on you"

(Works in so many situations. )

You can do more formalized processes as gentle as TAT and EFT or as intensive as deep-exploration, psychotherapy, if you like as well. Your choice!
I love the wizard of oz and I love that this works for you. being raised in a Christian Church - I still find that rebuking negative thoughts is so awesome and works like a charm. "Get thee behind me", "I rebuke that thought" and so on.
