We all make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. But a few mistakes that I made in the past still haunt me. How do I overcome those?

Doing these things is not easy and may take some practice on your part, but for me it boils down to the following process:
be honest with yourself and others, and own up to it, don’t try to pretend it was somebody else’s fault. Apologise to those impacted if you need to. Accept the consequences.
figure out what you can learn from it - not necessarily the specific details of this mistake but what you can do next time in similar circumstances to avoid making the same sort of error.
stop wishing for a better past - it won’t happen, so move on.
