Past regrets/shame/guilt

[Forty0ztoFreedom]

How do you guys deal with this? I have done things in my past, in darker times . . I didn't hurt anyone or anything, but lets just say its stuff that I am ashamed of. Some days I can just say "the past is the past" but once in a while it just weighs on me. I start a negative thinking pattern that ends up with me thinking I am completely worthless and irredeemable.

You have to take pride in who you are now.

The feeling of guilt is only useful in the moment you first experience it. Its not a feeling people are meant to live with. It does nothing but take away from the brilliance of your future. If you feel bad about your dark past you should make sure your future is brighter.

I think too many replies clouds an OP's mind and so they don't get the real advise.

Focus on what you want. Negativity feeds negativity, positivity feeds positivity.

That's the real advise.

Laugh at those moments. You messed up but you learned a lesson
