We all have some sort of guilty feeling, No? I say, don't feel guilty. Yeah, I'm not a machine. I make mistakes, I feel ashamed, I learn from it. But I never let the guilty feeling grow inside me.
Sometimes we have to do such things or we unconsciously do something which makes us feel guilty. But living with the feeling really hurts. It makes us more fragile and uncomfortable. It's like something biting in our hearts. Make everything clear to yourself and it will reduce the guilty feeling.
The first thing I follow is, searching if there is any scope to apologize; not only to others to myself also. If so, I say sorry and try to figure out what makes me do so. Resolving the issue is very necessary I think. Even if it's as silly as eating dessert late at night.
Hiding from that emotion/event and not focusing on resolving the guilty feeling can harm in the long term.
I had a very bad habit of eating chips every single day. You see I use 'Had' in the line. Yeah, I used to feel guilty every single time after eating a whole packet and I could not live like that, with that feeling. So I figure out how to minimize that and now I'm almost out of the habit. I'm just giving a very silly example as I don't want to bring up any complex thing to talk about right now. But I know we all have some stories in our life, some events which make us feel guilty. As there is no way back to make it right or undo those things. So what we can do is not making things any worse and trying to make things better in the future.

Self-punish if necessary but don't live with the guilty feeling. I lose confidence, the level of honor with such feeling. So I decided to show some compassion to myself. Yeah, I try to forgive myself. I'm not 100% success in this yet. But those facts/emotions/feelings are fading away slowly.
We are not what we have done mistakenly, for sure. We are more than that. Don't make it head to feel better. Let the light comes to your soul.
