The first thing you should do is making a good examination of conscience. You need to go over everything in your life since your last confession and make a list of any mortal sins, and any other sins which have been a particular problem in your life. The Ten Commandments, the Five Commandments of the church, and the seven deadly sins would be helpful to go over one by one. One of the biggest helps for this is to do a general exam at the end of each day. Kneel down, ask God for His help and then go over your day to see where you have fallen, and what sins you have committed. Mark them down (somewhere that no one else is going to see them) and then make an act of contrition.
On the day of your confession, get to the church early and go over your list making sure that you have everything you need to mention to the priest, you must mention all mortal sins by number, it is helpful if you can provide any background which might explain to the priest why you are failing in this particular area.
When you go into the confessional, start by making the sign of the Cross, and say, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned, it has been x number of days (weeks, months, etc) since my last confession. If the priest does not know you, tell him your age and your state in life: "I am a thirty year old man, married for five years with three children" or whatever. Then say "Since then I have " and then mention your sins.
When you are done with your sins, say:
"For these and ALL OTHER SINS WHICH I CAN NOT NOW REMEMBER, I ASK PARDON, ABSOLUTION, AND COUNSEL.
The priest will then ask you any questions he may have, discuss anything that you need to go over, then he will impose a penance and ask you to make a good act of contrition.
Pray your act of contrition, then listen to the words of absolution. Thank the priest, leave the confessional, kneel down in one of the pews and say your penance. In your own words, make a good act of Thanksgiving to the Lord of mercy for forgiving all your sins!
