Acknowledging that if I hadn't made the mistake I could easily be in a worse place than I'm in today (even if I supposedly missed out on a great opportunity). 2. Acknowledging that it's in the past and I have the rest of my life to do better. Not forgetting, of course, that regret is a more or less voluntary emotion.
