Timing:When you made a mistake.
To admit that you made a mistake, feel remorse and perhaps shame requires acting with humility and serenity. You want the aggrieved person to trust you again but trust cannot be built without demonstrating that you are sincere. If you have lied, you have to stop immediately, admit it and show that you are still worthy of trust. If the consequences of your offence and lies are severe, you may have a chance to learn from them and become a person who does not lie.
Like you forgive others, you also need to forgive yourself.
Please refer to the book for more details on this activity.
