How to forgive yourself for cheating or lying?

If you are a Christian (like myself), seek God and His presence. He can take away every negative thought, feeling, and past decision and make your life out to be good. Sin is flesh and we are the flesh. Jesus took our sins to the cross for us. If you're not a Christian, you need to dig deep down into yourself: Keep silent and just listen and image what all past wrongs you have committed. Breathe in, and just let it all go. You have one life to live. You may feel guilt, sadness, and more but you must keep your chin held high because life doesn't stop for anyone.

Every person makes some mistakes. Try to place yourself at the place of the person who's the victim and try to feel how they felt. According to me the way to be able to forgive yourself is to face it. Now when you're done with that, try to tell yourself that your mistakes don't define you and you can rise above them if you want to. Explain yourself to you and accept yourself.

It may not be right, but it does not say how are we as a person. We may not have been in a good moment or situation. And although proper apologies need to be made, a mistake does not make us unworthy of love and forgiveness.

by being honest with myself to realize what was the real reason by what i did, then promise myself not to repeat my mistake for any reason, cheating or lying only means i m afraid that my action or my words is not accepted and if anyone wouldn't accept me for who am i shouldn't lie or cheat to keep him/her happy, therefore i will forgive my action as it was silly one time thing and won't be repeated for anyone

Firstly, remind yourself that nobody's perfect. Promise to yourself that you won't do the same mistake and stick with that. What's past is past and you are better than who you were yesterday :)

It can be hard to forgive yourself for lying or cheating, because you know you abused the power and love of someone you care about. But the best way to forgive yourself is to acknowledge you did wrong.

I used to be something of a serial liar when I was young. Now I look back and see it was fear that drove it. I was scared of failing, being judged, not fitting in. The burden of lying weighed on me, though, and I committed to live in truth as much as possible. It took time, and it wasn't always easy, but in the end it was the only way I could forgive myself: to make amends to myself and others by living in the world with honor. Learning from what you have done, and making a change at the spirit level, will ultimately lead to self-forgiveness.

It's important to remind yourself that it's something that has happened in the past. The only thing you can do now is move forward, and change the ways you do things that you think would stop you from doing so again. The past is the past, and now you only have the present and the future. Practising mindfulness is a skill that could be used to overcome this problem.

First of all, make the judgement in your head. Was there a proper justification for your doing or not. If yes then learn to forgive and pray to God as he knows your intentions. And if no then again follow the same steps but just with more guilt. Come to terms with it. Accept your mistake ask for those forgiveness whom you hurt and learn to love yourself even after you do wrong. Humans make mistakes dont they?

One can forgive himself for lying or cheating by realizing the feelings and thoughts that drove him to make his decision, and attempting to learn what he can do better next time.
