To be resilient, we must be able to forgive ourselves about our mistakes. Carrying around guilt lowers our self-esteem and confidence. Guilt does not help us correct mistakes. It only makes it more difficult to repair to damaged relationships.
So, let go of guilt. If you made a mistake, do not repeat it. If you did not make a mistake, just forget about what happened. If the guilt continues to plague you, can write about your feelings. Then make a list of good things you can do for other people and do those things.
Ironically, guilt is a form of self-consciousness. People who feel guilty are focusing on how they feel about their mistakes. To remove guilt focus on solutions to help other people.
