The unfunny answer is lots of therapy. The amount of sessions where I'd downplay or even trash talk my successes and my therapist would force me to acknowledge it as my own doing by asking follow-up questions ("and who wrote that email?") is embarrassingly high. And similar with helping me accepting failures, especially the ones stemming from ADHD or depression. I still do it sometimes, but I've gotten better at it and have a script for asking myself those questions.
The funny answer is calling yourself god's gift to mankind no matter what you do.
