I regenerate all the time, whenever I recognize I'm stagnating or in a crisis.
The Scorpio, supposedly, is the only sign to have three "totems" of evolution: the scorpion, the eagle, and the phoenix.
I imagine what I need to do and be to overcome and I become that. I do it after break ups when I feel utterly alone--I have to become my own partner and friend, I have to transform from self-pitying to self-healing..
I do it when I'm destitute, I become strong and industrious to lift myself back up.
I do it after set backs, I imagine myself positively and in a positive place and work towards that--I transform my thinking to become optimistic.
And other situations which aren't necessary to mention.
I sort of zero in on my weakness and how it is holding me back in those moments of crisis, and then work to overcome it, rather than accept it and be defeated.
It's not very easy to explain, I envision myself as the hero of my own story (cheesy, I know) and then I become that.
I think it works out because instead of getting down on myself and just wallowing in guilt and shame, I work to forgive myself and learn from mistakes--and look at failures as opportunities for new beginnings.
As a result, I feel like every set back and heart break makes me a stronger and more positive person.
