You know you've repented correctly when there's a genuine shift in your heart and actions: you're horrified by your sin, stop repeating it, make amends, accept consequences, confess openly, and actively pursue a changed life with God's help, showing a deep desire to turn away from the wrong and toward righteousness, not just feeling bad or repeating apologies. It's a process of turning (metanoia), involving sorrow, confession, and transformation, not just temporary regret.

The very fact you're asking shows you haven't reached that state of total, defiant hardness; if you want to repent, God's forgiveness through Jesus is available.
