How do we win the battle over self? Specifically selfishness, impatience, lust, moodiness, temper and other things like that.

Prayer, fasting, almsgiving, sacraments, perseverence…

The battle will continue throughout this life, so when you mess up, confess and keep trying.

That just about sum’s it up ,now doesn’t it.
 
By punishing our bodies into submission. I’m not talking about hurting ones self. Our bodies and health are a gift from God. I’m talking about fasting and other self mortifications, like sleeping on the floor, using cold water, etc. By doing this we learn to control ourselves, further helping us to control ourselves when temptation arises.
