Here is another set of practices to engage in to help diagnose and remedy any inclinations towards the vice of vainglory (you are not required to do these; you will receive extra credit if you do):

Vainglory Activities

Choose one of the following activities, do it, and write a 300-400-word reflection paper on It making sure that your reflection includes discussion of the vice

 (if you do an activity that shows up again, you must choose a different activity)

1.    Do not look in a mirror or anything that provides a reflection for at least 48 hours.  Every time you are tempted to look or catch yourself accidentally looking at yourself, make a mental note of what was going through your mind, why you looked at yourself, how often you catch yourself doing so, etc. 

2.    Avoid promoting yourself and your opinions for 72 hours.  Attempt to avoid mentioning yourself in conversation online and face-to-face unless directly asked by a professor or employer.

3.     Keep track for 3 days of each time you notice in yourself the inclination to say or do something for the sake of maintaining an image/having others think better of you/impressing someone/etc.
