1227: You are allowed to change your mind
If ever worry about being flakey, and end up cutting off your nose to spite your face, then this one’s for you.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy hump day to you. So as I'm navigating a lot of health stuff at the moment and rethinking going back to long term travel and putting it off for a little bit, I've been really thinking about what it means to commit to plans, to stay flexible, and what it looks like to give yourself permission to change plans in general. For so many of us who are multi passionate, the idea of changing plans brings with it a whole load of shit. Chances are we might already struggle with feeling flaky, or we might be used to the really horrible conversations with people where they say, wait. I thought you were gonna do this or or what happened to that. But the truth is it only has to make sense and it only has to work for you and your life because you're the one living it, and you are allowed to change your mind. We are not fortune tellers.
As much as sometimes we might like to, we cannot see into the future. We have no crystal ball. And one of life's biggest skills is being able to change and adapt when necessary, whether we want to or whether it's in our control or not. And I think because we carry a lot of that shame around being flaky or not wanting to change our minds or go back on our words, what we can end up doing is cutting off our nose to spite our face. So for this hump day, I just want you to know that it's okay to change your mind, and I also think it takes courage to change your mind. It shows that you are looking at and assessing what you need. You're putting that on the table, and you're being pretty damn kind to yourself. If you're in a situation where you're not sure why you're changing your mind, I like to come back to the intention behind our decisions.
And a really good question is, are you making that decision from a place of hope, or are you making it from a place of fear? So I think that is enough food for thought for today. Happy hump day. You are doing it. We are allowed to change our minds, and we are allowed to build a life we love. I'll see you tomorrow.
