I haven't look through all of the threads, and I'm not nearly that knowledgeable, so I apologize if what I say here has been said elsewhere.
#1: We say in Krias Shema al Hamitta: "Master of the Universe, I forgive who angered or mocked me, or sinned against me, whether in my body, property, honor, or whatever I have."
Most important of all, you are forgiving YOURSELF, since you have certainly been angered by your actions, thoughts, etc. sometimes! You forgive yourself each night: don't let the baggage from yesterday hold you back today, for you have forgiven yourself and you can begin anew.
#2: This is something I use as motivation whenever I feel tempted. God knows the inner thoughts of man: we say that several times during davening. Whenever I begin to have improper thoughts, and may you also remember to do this, I think that God is watching. How can I let my mind water and humiliate myself before the Holy One Blessed Be He!
I hope you found these thoughts slightly useful, inspirational, or what have you. Again, I apologize if these are mentioned else where, but Ba'aniyus Da'ati these are my thoughts.
