I actually think those words can take quite a lot of courage to say.
I know I’ve sometimes stayed with a decision longer than I needed to, simply because I’d already committed to it.
I’d told people.
I’d invested time in it.
I’d convinced myself it was the right thing to do.
And changing my mind could feel like admitting I’d got it wrong.
But I’ve come to see it differently.
We make decisions with the information, experience and perspective we have at the time.
Then things change.
We change.
We learn something new.
Sometimes we simply get honest with ourselves about something we’ve been feeling for a while.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the original decision was wrong.
It means it was right then.
I think there’s something quite freeing about knowing we can revisit our choices.
We don’t have to keep doing something just because we once decided to.
We can pause, reassess and choose again.
I’m increasingly comfortable with that.
Not because I make perfect decisions — far from it.
But because I trust myself a little more to recognise when something no longer fits.
And perhaps that’s the important bit.
Changing your mind isn’t always a failure to commit. Sometimes it’s a sign that you’re listening to yourself.
