change course
Shift your path
To change course is to alter direction, whether literally or figuratively.
A ship changes course when it turns toward a new heading.
More often the phrase describes shifting strategy or plans: After the disastrous quarter, the company changed course on pricing.
The nautical origin gives the expression a sense of deliberate redirection rather than aimless wandering.
