It means to "turn from" something to something else. You can repent from being an alcholic to a murderer. The main point in true repentance is turning from bad to good. Not bad to bad.

Repentance is a change of mind, such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of sin, but not necessarily a change of heart

If you are repentant you feel truly sorry for what you did and will make it a priority to change the behavior.

One possible meaning is to turn toward God. The mind of man turned away from God is satan.

A change of heart and, accordingly, a change of mind-set and behavior/choices.
