Great post.
For the Christian, repentance is a constant, daily, moment-by-moment process as we walk in faith with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Conscious repentance by self effort or as a means of being righteous is a dead work of the fleash.
Unconscious repentance resulting from hearing the anointed Word of God is a fruit of the spirit and is of grace.
Remember, righteousness is a person - Jesus Christ - not what you do. We are righteous as a gift (Romans 7:17) and by grace we are the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21), not by our works (Rom. 4:6).
Yup, it’s living out Romans 12:1-2
