Question about having a stronger relationship with personal values

On paper, I believe in doing the right thing without recognition or reward. However, having been raised by parents who punished me for misbehaving and only rewarded me for behaving well, I still struggle in everyday life with the temptation to people please and be seen demonstrating my positive qualities to the world. What are some things I can do to move further away from that and move closer to acting in accordance with what I believe in, regardless of receiving approval?
