You are allowed to change your mind

Sometimes we are struggling to take decisions. We are thinking and thinking of all pros and cons and we are forcing ourself to take the right decision. Because what if we change our minds afterwards? then maybe you will meet reactions like “Did you change your mid?” and honestly that has a negative implication, like changing our mind shows that we not reliable and strong. This makes us afraid of saying yes to change. Better to stay in the same position, than making the wrong decision and then change our mind and be ashamed.

But You know what that is ok! changing our minds shows that we dared to take the decision and tried what ever it was that we did. For instance a new job, a new relationship, a new course or a new hobby. To change your our minds shows that we are reevaluating after new insights and are growing due to the new circumstances.

So try to think of the Danish word “ombestämma” meaning “re-decide”. It only means that you are growing not stagnating and that you are willing to try and expand with less fear of making mistakes.
