change mind
Adopt new position
To change one's mind is to reverse a decision or alter an opinion: I was going to order the fish, but I changed my mind.
The phrase implies a deliberate shift rather than mere indecision.
You can change your own mind or change someone else's through persuasion: Nothing you say will change my mind.
The construction requires a possessive—you change your mind, his mind, their minds.
