Digging deeper for frequent confession

I use to go to confession once or twice a year. It was never a problem to come up with my sins during an examination of conscience. However, I have started to go several times per month. With each time, it seems that I can think of fewer and fewer sins. I am trying to live my life to please God and serve God and others. So, perhaps, I “produce” fewer sins from one reconciliation to the next. However, I am not a saint and I know that being human, is having a sinful nature, so what does one do to probe deeper into the soul. If the sins are not easily and readily identifiable, anymore, how does one dig deep and really see ones sins. I think about JPII who went to confession daily…if he needed to do that, then I certainly can benefit from going regularly (perhaps many times per day 🙂 ). But being that he was such a Holy person, what sins could he have had…they had to be things that the average person would not acknowledge…subtle, deep, but significant enough to mar ones relationship with Our Lord. How does one start to see oneself with that type of a spiritual microscope?
 
Weren’t you on the other confession post?
If not look up weekly confession or frequent confession.

Any how of the top of my head I recomend the “Sinner’s Guide”.
By some venerable. Good stuff.
 
No, I am new and this is only my second posting and the first on this topic. I will look for those.

Thanks!
