Recently, I’ve been talking a lot about change — and how unnerving it can be. The kind of change that feels permanent, like a point of no return. That knot-in-your-stomach fear of, what if I’m making the wrong decision? What if I pour in years, energy, and money I can’t get back?

​

That’s where this week’s affirmation comes in: I am allowed to change my mind.

And honestly, I change my mind all the time — about what to wear, what’s for dinner, whether that guy from the bar was cute… you get the picture. But when it comes to the big stuff — your career, your life partner, your beliefs, your values… it suddenly feels like changing your mind is dangerous, or selfish, or even impossible.

​

But truthfully, changing your mind when it’s what you truly feel isn’t selfish — it’s honoring yourself. How miserable it would be to live a life you don’t want simply because you were too afraid to step off the path you’re on. It’s okay to grow out of things. It’s okay to choose something and change your mind a year later… or a minute later. Life isn’t always about knowing exactly what you want — sometimes it’s about staying open enough to discover what feels right next.

​

And maybe that’s the real skill — not locking ourselves into a single choice forever, but learning how to pivot when the truth inside us shifts. To give ourselves permission to start over, or start differently, without shame. To trust that changing direction isn’t losing ground — it’s finding it.

​

So this week, I’m giving myself that permission.
I am allowed to change my mind, my path, and my pace.
