1. Remind yourself
that everyone makes mistakes, does things wrongs, and has moments of regret.
There are no perfect people out there. In that sense, you are just the same as everybody
else.
2. Remind yourself
that “that was then, and this is now”. You can’t turn back the clocks and
change what you did, but you can be a different person in the future.
3. Allow yourself
to experience and name the feelings you are struggling with (regret, guilt,
shame, disappointment, embarrassment, sadness, etc.) – then make the decision
to let those feelings go. In the end, it’s unhealthy to become attached to
them.
4. Ask yourself
what you can learn from the situation. What would you do differently if you
found yourself in that situation again? How can it change the person you are
now (so that you feel better about yourself)?
5. Recognise that
failings and mistakes are part of the growth process. It’s inevitable that
you’ll encounter obstacles, challenges and failures throughout life. Don’t let
that stop you from really living life.
6. Remind yourself
that “it was what you did, it’s not who you are.” Don’t allow any single event
or experience to define you. You are more than – so don’t let that become your
identity, or your destiny.
7. Give yourself
the gift of a new day and a new start. and let go of the past, with confidence move on with your life.
