335. It's okay to change your mind

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

We often think that once we've made a decision, or said we believe something, or stated something about ourselves, we must always stay the same and can never change our minds. That is entirely incorrect - being able to say "I was wrong" or "this isn't me anymore" show incredible psychological strength. Being able to quit and start again is often the start of a truly fulfilled life. In today's episode we discuss how being okay with changing your mind can: 

  • Help us make better decisions
  • Overcome disappointing others 
  • Reduce our fear of judgement 
  • Lead to a more fulfilled life + so much more
