How does one forget one's own virtues, in the manner of Omar ibn al-Khattab and the rest of the Companions? And what are the steps to acquiring the characteristic of forgetting one's own virtues?

Ibn al-Jawzi mentioned in "Sayd al-Khatir" that when a person's knowledge becomes complete, he does not see any deed as his own, but rather sees Allah's enabling grace for that deed. He also stated that no matter how great a deed may be, it is nothing compared to the greatness of Allah and His blessings. He cited the prophets and companions who feared falling short and were not impressed by their own deeds, such as the angels' saying: "We have not worshipped You as You deserve to be worshipped," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "None of you will be saved by his deeds, except that Allah covers me with His mercy." The acceptance of deeds is from Allah's grace and mercy, as Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Were you to come with the deeds of both worlds, I would fear its consequence, for He only accepts it through His generosity." And the hearts of His servants are between two of the Fingers of the Most Merciful, He turns them as He wills, so a servant should not feel secure from trials and a bad ending.
