Too much of thinking about self is not bad, but it is bad if only if you do no work and simply waste time on thinking about you only! Answer me, I will give fine ideas for you to make your life interesting, worthy, useful and meaningful!

Truly listening to another person is a wonderful, easy gift you can give to everyone daily! You need to listen, pay attention and care about what they're saying to be "truly" listening.
Try not to follow up with how 'the same thing happened to me...' or 'I felt the same way when...' - allow the person their time and keep in mind 'it really isn't always about you ;)'
I think it's great that you've chosen to do this. Best of luck!

good for you - you can hold a door for someone who has their hands full while shopping, offer to get food for the family while you are out running errands, offer to do a household chore that you know is a nasty one that everyone hates, clean the bathroom without anyone asking you to, give someone a compliment - that aways makes their day, praise someone who works hard and doesn't get much praise, there are so many things you can do that are very little inconveniences to you but sure do make a person feel good.

start off small. Let someone out in traffic. Hold the door for someone. You will see the positive reaction that you get from that and it will give you the urge to continue this behavior.
Don't expect to go from selfish to selfless in a week or anything. Changing behavior takes a long time.

Get involved in the community. Join a volunteer group. Make a list of your strengths and see what you would do best when volunteering.

Smile, say hello. If you want to ask how they are and they start talking, listen. I love it when people smile, it makes life seem less stressful.
