There is not mutch you can do. The easiest solution would be to wait until the transaction confirms.

Your transaction is not eligible for Replace-By-Fee. With RBF it's possible to replace a transaction by nearly the same transaction just with increased fee. To indicate RBF the `sequence` of one of the inputs needs to be lower than `MAX_INT - 1` (in dec: `4294967295 - 1` or in hex: `0xFFFFFFFF - 1`). You can check that for your transaction [here](https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/#https://bitaps.com/api/transaction/4c4402a5439fdfcf2cd3d9bbf0c36fbae91a3ce08504da317938eed2d1a125e1).

Since you mentioned that the transaction is to an other address of yours, you could try Child-Pays-For-Parent. This works by spending the unconfirmed transaction output in a new child transaction with much higher fees to pay for the parent transaction and its self. This depends on your wallet software.
