That sounds like a really neat idea. Sounds very helpful. Just the act of writing it out, whether or not you believe it, sounds like it would start the process.

But, one thing that seems to work for me, which kind of randomly happened... I had an experience happened to me which I thought was more a strange quirk than me being a good person, so I told my mother. She instantly spun it into this great, positive thing about me! Now, every so often, she brings it up (completely on her own, she doesn't even realize it helps when she does this!). And when she does, of course my little demon beats it down and says "thats not what happened at all!" but each time, he loses his grip a little bit.

So maybe, once the lists have been finished you could talk to someone about what's on it, and maybe they could help. Maybe bring up a point or two when you're feeling especially down. It would be hard to do, simply cause it would be uncomfortable and the negative thoughts would get in the way -- but it might help hearing it from someone else.

Just a thought!
Good luck everyone,
