How do I stop feeling guilty about something?

The best way I found to stop feeling guilty is thinking: "What's done is done. It's in the past, and all I can do, is move forward, and make good choices."

When you are feeling guilty about something you have done there us no quick way to stop it, you have to accept what you have done and come to terms with it. If you have hurt someone and are feeling guilty about it work towards making things better with the person, earn their forgiveness and forgive yoyrself. We are all human and make mistakes, we then have to choose to learn from our mistakes to make us better people.

By telling yourself that whatever happened, has already happened and there's nothing you can do to change things around. So thinking about it will only make you feel terrible, and will change nothing. So it's better to think of a way to manage the consequences than feeling guilty.

You need to rationalized it! Find reasons why you are not guilty and try repeat them to your self! By repeating these reasons you will finally believe them and will not feel guilty!

We all feel guilty about something. You can change the feeling or stop. Just try not yo think about that. Think about some thing that makes you happy , about ambitions. Change the thougts .

The first step is to accept what you have done. Whatever you've done to make yourself guilty, you can't change it-- it has already happened, and it's in the past. Once you've accepted what has happened, and that what you've done is wrong, you can seek forgiveness from whomever you have wronged. Consider coming up with a plan before engaging with this conversation. A good apology admits fault and doesn't attempt to blame others, taking full responsibility for what has occurred, and ends with a plan to prevent future wrongdoings in the future. Finally, after you've earned the forgiveness of whomever you've wronged, you must learn to forgive yourself. That can be the most tricky part, since we're often our own worst critics. However, just remind yourself of how you've learned from this experience, and how you're going to prevent it from happening again. Your apology won't mean anything if you simply repeat whatever you've done wrong, so your sense of self-forgiveness should be tied to this as well. Put some real thought into how you can grow and mature through forgiveness, and watch as the guilt falls away.

Peak to some body about it...also say sorry and empathise with the person you have hurted in the situation will make you feel a lot better..try that

Believing that you could have done better might be the reason behind your guilt,However, you have to put in mind is that you cant always control bad events because you won't always have the necessary resources to deal with every situation you encounter.

I feel guilty for using racial slurs from several years back, whenever someone uses one i think back to how ignorant I myself used to be and now I frequently call people out on it

Guilt can be a hard emotion to get rid of. In order to do that, you must remember that what happened is in the past and can't be changed. Just focus on how to improve yourself as a person, and fix whatever mistakes or decisions that were made.
