It’s important to tell yourself that everyone makes mistakes. Think about what drove you to make the choice to cheat or lie. Think about alternative actions that you can take in the future. See this lesson as an opportunity for growth.

The best way to forgive yourself is to understand yourself. You're a human being. Human beings make mistakes, they may lie or cheat. They may hurt people or hurt themselves. So understand yourself, you're a human being, and it's okay to make mistakes and lie. Just make sure to not repeat it, and learn from it.

By not allowing yourself to do so again. Actions speak louder than words. Commit to being a better person and follow through with the commitment.

First offer an apology to the person that may have been hurt by it. The best way is to learn from the experience.

I first forgive myself by doing the right thing. Which is going to the person and admitting what I have done. Then ask for forgiveness, and if they don't take it just think you did the right thing and that's all you can do. Don't beat yourself up.

The most important thing to remember is that forgiving yourself is a process. Learn from your mistakes and maybe write down what you can do differently next time

It’s difficult and takes time. I find that forgiveing yourself is made easier when you recognise you’ve done wrong, but learn as much as you can from it. You can’t change what’s been done and said, the only thing you can do is learn. It’s a lot easier to forgive yourself if you take the situation for what it is and feel you’ve made a positive change from learning about the situation. We all make mistakes. And they can be difficult mistakes to deal with - but what’s important is taking responsibility for those mistakes and learning from them to move forward.

I would talk about it with someone and try to find why I felt like at the time I needed to cheat or lie. Then if it doesn't hurt the other person or could put myself in harm, I would tell that person what happened and that I am regretful it happened. I would allow them to say what they need to say and not judge their feelings. If it is possible for the relationship to continue, I would move forward. If not, then I would try to learn from it and do my best not to make the same mistake again

"You cannot change the past" and that's the only thing you can think and try to move on. You were given this life to live not to regret.
