Only you can free yourself of your guilt. The sooner you forgive yourself, the more time you'll have to live a happy life. There's no point in beating yourself up any further. Remember how unhappy this decision made you so that it won't happen again and move on to happier things to come for you.

Realize that life is much too short and much too beautiful to hate yourself or blame yourself for mistakes. We all make mistakes, we all do ugly things sometimes. It's what you learn from the bad things you've done and how you move forward that matter. You can't move forward if you dwell on the fact that you cheated and lied. Accept it as part of your past, a mistake you made. Promise yourself you will not do it again and work towards forgiving yourself.

Being unable to forgive yourself can cause you to be filled with regret, and guilt. Remember that no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Try to think about what was it that specifically bothers you the most about cheating or lying. Was it the after effect, or how it affected others/the situation? Or is it about how it made or currently makes you feel? Asking yourself these questions can help you forgive yourself because then you can understand the reasoning behind doing these things. It can be really hard to forgive yourself if you are confused and aren't sure why you did these things in the first place. Remember you can always look into other available resources for help. Good luck!

The key is to define what kind of person you would like to be, and work toward that goal. If you only focus on what you've done wrong, it's unlikely that you'll be able to move past your mistakes and start acting like your ideal self. The reality is that everyone makes mistakes at some point, but every action is in the past, and you can't change the past, so the only thing you can do is focus on the future and make it the best it can be.

Forgiving yourself is the hardest thing to do- then forgiving another person. Maybe know that you made a mistake, and think are you sorry for doing it. Try and show yourself kindness and know we too deserve to be forgiven by us.

Everyday is a new day for change. You can’t change ypur past but you can live a new life today.
Not forgiving yourself can cause you a depression or it just takes all of the self-love you have. Stop thinking about this, try to say to yourself : “I forgive myself. I am letting my past go and starting a whole new topic of my life book today. “
Also, you have to understand that stop lying is bot a simple way. But you can always treat yourself with some cookies, etc. , when you are staying true and honest with others. Think of the situations which make you lie and try to erase them from your life or just stay honest. Because honesty makes you a better person)
Analysing is a good way to gain good habits. Think why are you cheating and is it worth your time and health

I will tell myself that everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and that even though it is wrong to cheat or lie, at the end of the day there is no need to reproach ourselves anymore as there is nothing we can do to turn back time.
I've had an experience with lying before, when I lied about the time I slept as I was up late online. I felt really guilty, and constantly asked myself why I did that even when I knew it was wrong. But looking back, I just didn't want my loved ones to worry, so in the end I got past it.
