make up one's mind
Reach a decision
To make up one's mind is to reach a decision after consideration or hesitation.
The phrase implies deliberation—weighing options before committing: I can't make up my mind about the job offer.
Someone who has made up their mind is resolved and unlikely to change course: Once she's made up her mind, there's no talking her out of it.
