Your list is wonderful, and it serves as a good reminder that out outlook does matter.

May I suggest adding some to "Disempowering Questions" list, concerning a bad outlook on the world in general? (i.e. people who tend to blame a bad world or other people, not just blame flaws in themselves)

Why is the world such a horrible place?
Why are people so cruel?
How come there is so much suffering in the world?
Why is there so much misfortune?
Why is life so unfair?
Why is my boss (or professor or authority figure) so unfair?
This task is stupid. Why do they make us do this?
Why is work (or school or other endeavor) so pointless and stupid? Why can't they make it easier / more fun?
How can I be expected to do this when I have {insert excuse here} ?
Why am I always the victim?
Why did my mother (father, family member) do __ to me? It's because of that I have these problems.
Why is the weather here always so terrible? Why is it always too cold (or hot or raining) for me to go outside and exercise?
Why am I so sick all the time? How can I be expected to do __ when I am tired or hurt.
