By accepting the facts that we all make mistakes, cannot fix something that happened in the past and mistakes are also valuable lessons.

At first, have in mind that mistakes are only learning experiences. We all learn through mistakes. Then, think about what can you learn from mistake. If you can't learn anything at all and also when you found everything what can you learn from it, then if you can repair anything - repair it; then (and otherwise) distract yourself from the mistake and let it go.

Great question! I have that issue as well and there are still things from decades ago that still come up to play with my emotions. The best thing I have found is to focus on the good things that have happened recently, or if anything positive came out of the mistakes of the past. For example, I had major issues my first year of college and flunked out for a semester. However, because I graduated a semester late I was put in the position to marry my wife. You need to think about the positive consequences and understand that your mistakes are in the past and you need to move forward. I hope that helps!

They’re already there and won’t disappear if you keep thinking over. See the difference between the old you and who you are now, change it if you’re still having the same problem, nobody is born to know everything and yes here’s an old excuse but it’s true that we all make mistakes. If all of us were thinking about mistakes without changing, then you’re likely to do it again. Remember you’re always the one who can control yourself but not the guilt or laziness. Remember all the feelings won’t last forever but will eventually fade away someday. What you need to do is simply convert your guilt into your motivation to be better yourself. I see the potential in you because you’re aware of your anxiety and willing to try to change! I believe you can come through this!!!
