A mistake is not something to feel guilty about, is something that makes you understand who you are and grow. Yes, it can hurt, yes, it can be difficult and slow your journey, but it'll lead you to a better yourself, and when you'll look back it will all make sense.

To forgive yourself for past mistakes. That's hard to do. Just focus on what you did, and tell yourself, "I'm a human, I make mistakes, I'm not perfect, and what I did, I have learned from." Seeing what you've learned from your mistakes can be the best thing for you. :D

Try to tell yourself that you are only human. And that everything kinda happens for a reason. Reassure yourself. Tell yourself that everything WILL fall into place.

As difficult as it may be, I think it's important to remember that we are not alone and that everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes we make choices that we felt were good at the time. But we can't beat ourselves up about that. We need to move forward and say "I messed up in the past. I can't change that. But I can change how I move forward".

Making mistakes is a part of being human, everyone makes mistakes believe it or not, but you most likely won't hear much about them because people don't like talking about their own misgivings. So recognize that making mistakes is part of the human experience and there are no mistakes, only lessons.

Forgiving yourself for past mistakes can be a challenge, but not impossible. Self-blame and negative feelings will create a hard time to find a positive outcome on the situation. Dwelling on past events can impact your mental and physical health. First steps can be speaking to others, finding a way to improve your inner critic, and to let go of negative thoughts. We all make mistakes, but the best thing about mistakes is the growth you receive. Bottling up negative feelings can lead to an explosive reaction so talking about how you feel to someone can allow you to feel relief and to hear other opinions. Forgiving yourself is growth.
