Change my mind vs. change my heart Fri Oct 27, 2006 13:18 pm  Change my mind vs. change my heart
 

'Change my mind' (not 'my heart') is used to mean 'change my decision' or 'change my point of view': she's changed her mind twice already.

On the other hand, 'change my heart' has a different (often religious) sense and can be interpreted as 'change my spirit/attitude', for example. A change of heart can also mean that your feelings change.
