  • Releasing the underlying emotion or belief you have attached to the mistake or what made you feel guilty.

“To get over the past, you first have to accept that the past is over. No matter how many times you revisit it, analyze it, regret it, or sweat it…it’s over. It can hurt you no more.”― Mandy Hale.

  • Let go that part of your past that you need to forgive. Move on.

“Your capacity to learn from your mistakes and move on will be key to your ultimate success and achievement.” Amy E. Dean
