Well, as it is pride that caused the most powerful angel to be cast down from heaven, the conclusion must be the one Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh meditates upon in one of his sermons.

He mentions St. John Climacus who teaches that humility is the cure for vanity. At the same time, St. Isaac of Syria,  suggests that pride also offers a path—one leading to life, the other to death. To choose pride is to rise up in arrogant defiance, not only against people, but against God Himself. That makes our own judgment the ultimate law, a road that ends in spiritual ruin.

Humility, by contrast, is the act of surrendering to God's judgment. When we cannot ascend to God on our own strength, we must lie before Him like dry earth beneath the open sky: abandoned, helpless, parched, and desperately yearning. Only in this humble powerlessness a Christian is able to achieve holiness, the Fathers of Church claim.

Fasting and prayer will  help in this.
