Permission to Change Your Mind

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that “changing your mind” means you’re unreliable. Flaky. Indecisive.
But here’s the truth: changing your mind isn’t a weakness, it’s proof you’re listening to yourself.

When you’ve walked through big life transitions you are not the same person you once were. And that’s a good thing. You’ve learned things. You’ve healed (or are healing). Your values and needs have shifted. It makes perfect sense that the choices that once fit you might not anymore.

Why it’s okay to outgrow things

That job you fought to get but now drains you.
That social circle you’ve realized you can’t fully be yourself in.
That style you once loved but now feels like you’re wearing someone else’s skin.

Outgrowing things doesn’t mean they were wrong for you. It means they served you then. And now, you’re ready for what’s next.

Signs it’s time to pivot

You dread something you once looked forward to.
You feel a quiet resistance every time you commit.
You fantasize about “what if I could just…?”

These little nudges are worth listening to. They’re your intuition’s way of inviting you into a new chapter.

Practical ways to give yourself permission

Say it out loud – “I’ve changed my mind” is a complete sentence. No novel-length explanation needed.
Anchor in your ‘why’ – You’re making this choice for alignment, not approval.
Expect discomfort – Not everyone will understand. That’s okay. You’re the one living your life.
Start small – Change your coffee order. Try a new hairstyle. Shift a weekend routine. Little shifts build confidence.

You’re not flaky, you’re evolving

Every time you allow yourself to change your mind, you reinforce an important truth: you trust yourself.
You’re allowed to update your dreams, your boundaries, your style, and your plans as often as you need.

Because the goal was never to stay the same.
The goal was to become more you.
