We all make them, we all pay for them. The key is to learn from them and not repeat history. Also, remorse goes a long way. If you aren't remorseful then you don't think you made a mistake and will do it again and again.
Being remorseful, however, does not mean constantly beat yourself up over your poor decision. Besides, if you can't forgive yourself then no one else will either. If your mistake disappointed someone or many, just keep in mind they are not perfect, have probably disappointed you and more than likely will sometime in the future.
You have to, have to look at the mistake and figure out what caused you to make it and how can you avoid in the future. That is really, really hard to do. It's way easier to just say, "I don't know". You do know and you have to admit it to yourself, truly.
You will definitely look back and think, why you did what you did. However, circumstances at that time are usually a contributing factor and circumstances change.
