You’re Allowed to Change Your Mind
Let’s Talk…
Sometimes the hardest thing to admit out loud is this: “I don’t want this anymore.”
Whether it’s a career, a relationship, a goal you once swore by, or a version of yourself that’s just no longer aligned—letting go can feel like betrayal. Especially when you’ve already invested time, money, energy, or public declarations into “making it work.”
But here's the truth: growth doesn’t always look like progress—it often looks like a pivot. And pivoting doesn’t mean you failed. It means you listened.
So if you're feeling stuck, second-guessing your direction, or waking up with that familiar pit of “this just ain’t it,” I want you to know—you’re allowed to change your mind. And no, you don’t need permission or a PowerPoint presentation to explain why to anyone!
You’re Not Quitting—You’re Evolving
There’s something powerful about recognizing when a path no longer fits. But because we live in a world that worships consistency and labels anything else as flakey, we often stay in things longer than we should just to avoid the awkward “What happened?” conversations.
But here's the thing: clinging to something out of fear isn’t loyalty—it’s self-abandonment. And we’re not doing that anymore.
Changing your mind is a sign of awareness, not instability. When your values shift, your vision should too. When your needs evolve, so should your boundaries, your routines, your relationships, and yes—your goals. The version of you that said yes back then is not the same version reading this now. And thank God for that.
Pivoting is not the same as giving up. It’s course-correction. It’s walking away from misalignment, even when the path is still pretty, profitable, or praised. It’s trusting that your inner compass is more accurate than other people’s opinions or your own outdated expectations.
If we’re being honest, the fear isn’t usually about starting over. It’s about what starting over looks like to other people. But you’re the one who has to live with the outcome. So why not make decisions that respect your peace, your growth, and your gut—even if they confuse everyone else?
Reflect On This
🌀 Where in your life have you stayed committed to something because you feared what it would mean to change your mind?
Hustle of the Week
🧠 Try this:
Write a “Permission Slip to Pivot.” It can be one sentence or a full journal entry—but make it real.
Start with: “I give myself permission to let go of…” and finish the sentence as many times as you need.
Examples:
I give myself permission to let go of the pressure to prove myself.
I give myself permission to let go of a business model that no longer feels aligned.
I give myself permission to let go of relationships that drain me.
Then write one statement that affirms your choice: “Changing directions is not failure. It’s alignment.”
Keep this somewhere visible. Return to it when the guilt creeps in.
Affirmation of the Week
✨ “I am not stuck. I am allowed to grow beyond what once made sense.”
Next week, we’re talking about what happens when you start feeling resentful instead of rested—and how to get back to yourself before the burnout takes over.
Until then, pivot boldly.
The path was never supposed to stay the same.
