Yes, good point. Hmmm.

Oh, and doing Byron Katie's The Works help too .

Edit: I guess I'm more focused on the internal stuff, rather then doing things on the outside to affect how I am on the inside. For example, with the loser thing, even if I'm new at something and I suck completely at it, I should be ok with it - I shouldn't let myself feel like a loser at it, and I should accept my newbieness with full acceptance and knowledge I'll get better by focusing on it. That is, there should be no negative emotional resonance with this belief.

Edit2: Though, I assume that working on the outside and learning the skills, etc. would help too with those beliefs. However to me it seems you need to do both - work on the inside and on the outside, at least in my case.
