But are you allowed to change your mind even if you\u2019ve already said yes? As counterintuitive as it might feel, the short answer is that you always have the right to change your mind. And if you think your situation is an exception to that rule, then this episode is for you!    Biggest Takeaways From Episode #130: You always have a right to change your mind, no matter what. This may not always be easy to do, but you have a right to do so every single time. If you\u2019ve agreed to a request and now regret your answer and want to change it, you\u2019re free to say something like, \u201cI need to let you know that the agreement that I made with you no longer works for me.\u201d When you\u2019re renegotiating an agreement or changing a \u201cyes\u201d to a \u201cno,\u201d avoid accusations, judgments, or language like \u201cthat\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d This isn\u2019t helpful and won\u2019t bring you more connection.   Highlights from Episode #130: Welcome to the show!
