Using a proper camera with a delayed action timer on a tripod will give better results than a phone camera in the mirror.
Sing Nellie the Elephant as the camera counts down from 10 to zero, it will allow you to know when the camera will go off and help relax you.
Be aware of what's in the background before you take a self pic, a plain wall is best indoors, never a toilet.
Outdoors the background may be an important part of the picture but check nothing weird is going on.
You may need to turn off autofocus and pre-set the distance on the camera, put a mark on the ground where you intend to stand.
