dear muse,

 

what if i told you that changing your mind is actually a powerful tool for growth, creativity, and self-improvement?

my mother states often “when you know better, you do better”, so when you know more, you can and should change course

we deserve to make mistakes and change course, change our minds, correct ourselves and seek correction…

thank you for being a part of our community

i believe in your potential and are here to support you every step of the way

 

enjoy this week's love letter...

do you feel like no matter what you do, you keep repeating the same patterns?

that’s your inner blueprint at work…the unconscious script that’s quietly guiding your decisions, habits, and thoughts

the good news is it’s not fixed

you can uncover it, understand it, and rewrite it to align with the person you want to become

you’re not broken, you’re operating on patterns

and patterns can change.

the hidden script running your life (and how to rewrite it for 2026)

with kim foster m.d.

our journal prompt

 

changing our minds is often presented as a bad thing. we have to be decisive. we must stick to our guns. we have to be strong and resolute. no wavering, no wobbling and certainly no “u” turns.

well, i believe that changing our minds is one of the healthiest and most positive things we can do

although, of course, i'm always prepared to be persuaded otherwise!

i’m not primarily talking about making practical or business decisions. although it’s right to change our minds, if we get more information, are persuaded by a different point of view or simply have more time to think. sticking stubbornly to a poor or sub-optimal decision is a sign of weakness, not of strength.

however, i’m more interested in a more profound and lasting change of our minds. how we change the way our mind comes to decisions and actions. how we change the way we think and react. and why this can be such a positive and growth experience for.

enjoy

 

you can change your mind – take nine steps

by david bottomley

our book selection

 

in this month’s spotlight, kiley reid’s sharp modern drama, perfectly captures the cage of external expectations

the story follows a young woman caught in a web of people trying to direct her life

initially, she goes along with it, compromising her boundaries just to keep the peace

but true alignment requires us to wake up

when she realizes she is being handled rather than helped, she makes the ultimate power move: she changes her mind

instead of remaining a passive participant in her own life, she makes a sharp pivot and reclaims her narrative

her journey reminds us that you are never too deep into a situation to turn around

you deserve to change your mind, rewrite your story, and win

 

such a fun age

by kiely ried

finally, our film selection

 

let’s be honest: we’ve all stayed at a job way too long because the perks were okay or we liked the aesthetic

getting dumped by her boss forces maggie to realize that staying in a comfortable, secondary role is just a slow way to suffocate her own talent

she officially changes her mind about playing it safe

if you are currently sitting at your desk wondering if you should blow up your current five-year plan and try something completely wild—this is your sign

joking

you deserve to change your mind, pivot, and force the world to take you seriously

enjoy!

 

the high note

starring dakota johnson, tracee ellis ross, and kelvim harrison jr

your ritual

 

growth asks us to remain open

to new perspectives, new possibilities, and even new versions of ourselves

this week, choose one or more of these simple practices as a reminder that changing your mind is not a contradiction; it's a reflection of your growth

every intentional choice is an opportunity to honor who you are today

 

cancel something that no longer serves you if you've committed to something out of guilt or obligation, give yourself permission to politely decline or reschedule. protecting your energy is a valid reason to change your plans

rewrite one goal revisit a goal you set earlier this year. ask yourself: "do i still want this, or do i just feel obligated to pursue it?" if it no longer reflects who you are, rewrite it—or let it go completely

unfollow what no longer inspires you curate your digital environment. remove accounts that create comparison, pressure, or no longer align with your values, and make room for voices that nourish your growth

try something new visit a new coffee shop, read a new genre, take a different route home, or cook a recipe you've never made. practicing small changes helps build comfort with bigger ones

changing your mind doesn't erase your past decisions—it honors your present wisdom

every time you choose what is true for you today, you practice self-trust

growth is not about staying consistent with yesterday's version of yourself; it's about living authentically as the person you are becoming

 

in closing

 

you are allowed to change your mind

again and again

give yourself that grace

that, too, is self-love

with love and compassion,

tamara charese
