I had a lot of trouble with this in the beginning, and sometimes I still forget about it.
I tried to speak in monotone while trying to keep all of the syllables the same length.
It's difficult to do when your worrying about remembering words and grammar too but it's worth it (obviously)

Since you are confident enough to put up a video of yourself speaking, I'm sure you won't mind recording yourself to listen back on it and see where you put stress on words.

You don't need to do it all of the time (because that would just be boring) but it's a good excersise to do
