you look for the positive in it sometimes you might think why did i say this or why did i do this but my way of seeing it is that everything happens for a reason

First of all why are you guilty about it. If there is a good reason as to why, face the reason. If there is no reason then why feel guilty?

You could try figuring out the reason you had to do the thing you are guilty of. Was it done intentionally? Could it have been avoided? What you can do to make it right? Maybe this will help. :-)

I recently saw one of Eckhart Tolle's videos where he talks about 'guilt'.
He says that all of us experience guilt in some form or the other and the best way to stop feeling guilty about something is to understand the fact that our level of consciousness was probably low at the time we committed the wrong. Probably we weren't as aware as to our (wrong) doing when we committed that act as we are today. Secondly we need to believe that its just not 'we' who might have committed the wrong. Possibly there could be others who might have acted like us as well. Finally, just don't let your thoughts hold on to the guilt.

Guilt is an emotion that many of us feel. It may be best to ask yourself first and foremost, is this healthy, or unhealthy guilt? Look for evidence of your guilt, is it founded? Try to be compassionate with yourself.

Feeling guilty is a very confusing feeling. Some people feel guilty for committing serious crimes, while others think it’s the end of the world when they commit a minor crime. Basically, It all depends on the person at hand.
So whatever guilt you’re feeling right know, it probably has to do with your experiences. If you’re for example guilty for having lied to someone, then congratulations; you have been through great life experiences to feel guilty about something as minor as lying.
So guiltiness can be both a good and bad thing. Sometimes it’s actually good to feel guilty about something because you become better as a person while reflecting on your guilt.
So, to answer your question, you can feeling guilty about something by evaluating its affect on you and the world. If its something minor, then maybe feeling guilty about it isn’t as important as you might think. On the other hand though, it might be worth it to feel guilty about certain things if they have a huge impact.
To sum up, you can stop feeling guilty by examining your situation. You have to decide whether something is actually worth feeling guilty about or not.

Try to think about the reason you did that thing.. Was it to benefit you, was it to benefit someone else? Ultimately you made the decision to do that thing for a reason and more times than not, that reason isn't a bad one. So just think over the situation and remember that everyone does make mistakes! You can learn from it if you do think it was wrong and if not- maybe try explaining to the person/people it effected, exactly why you did it! Talking to people is a great way to explain yourself and hopefully relieve some pressure- not everything is black and white so other people will view things differently to how you do!
