Have a change of heart.
[Idiom] HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART. - Transformations of the Heart in English Expressions
to change opinion or feelings
The idiom 'Have a change of heart' relates closely to our deepest emotions and decisions. Initially, you might think it has something to do with medical heart conditions, but it has nothing to do with cardiology! Rather, it's all about a significant shift in how someone feels about a particular situation or person. For instance, if someone opposes a certain idea at first, but later supports it, they have had 'a change of heart'. It suggests a softening, an opening, or sometimes a reversal of feeling that alters one's earlier stance. This idiom beautifully encapsulates the fluid and evolving nature of human feelings and decisions.
