Most people can identify their own problems, although they lack the ability to follow-through with changing themselves. Behavior comes down to habit, change your habits to change yourself. Thinking positively about one’s self and doing what needs to be done (particularly when it is hard to do) can go a long way. It has been proven that even fake laughter triggers a biochemical reaction in the brain that positively alters one’s perspective. Establishing a habit to replace a habit that is the result of many years of practice is very difficult. If you start slow and gradually increase you will have a better chance of making it a habit. Of course, it will take 3 weeks or more to establish the habit. During those 3 weeks you have to commit yourself to doing something you don't really want to do. There is a book that might help titled: Change Your Brain Change Your Life. You could also do check out meditation.
