Be honest with yourself about what you did, identify how you can learn from it, then move on. Honesty and owning up to what you did is key.

It is a process, sometimes in cases people never do. But for cheating you need to sort our the reason why and for lying you also need figure out what caused you to lie. Writing down your thoughts so you can understand better why.

I think the most important this is coming to terms with what is at hand. Then you can progress from there and work on dealing with the emotions that come with it and over coming them

Understand you are human. You make mistakes and that's okay. It's not normal to feel bad. Just don't make the same mistake twice, and learn from others mistakes.

You just have to know that it was in the past and you can't change what happened in the past. You have to forgive yourself.

As I personally always see it, I use it as a learning step. I never regret it, now you know cheating and lying are two bad traits, you should never regret it, always think of it as it teaching you what would actually happen if you were to do it again. It may hurt others and you, but now you know not to repeat the same situation, because you have learnt and hopefully taken responsibility for wrong-actions. :)

As long as you accepted that you made a mistake and had apologized to the person you lied to/cheated on, then you can start to move on and try to learn from the mistake.

Everyone in the world makes mistakes, nobody is perfect but we learn a lesson from our mistakes. You forgive yourself by staying positive, self motivation and learning that you wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
