Hi

Thank you for reply! Let me see if I got this right...

To have a change of mind=to change your opinion/thoughts about something/somebody or to decide to do something else.

To have a change of heart=to change the way you feel about something. At first, you have good/kind feelings towards something or somebody and after a while you stop having them. Or vice versa.

Perhaps the difference is that in the first one the mind has more predominance over the heart and in the second one the feelings/emotions are stronger. For this reason, there are moral implications.

Oh well, I am kind of confused now...Am I correct?

Thanks in advance

Hi AnaLaura, I'm a native speaker from the USA, and yes, that is the way that I've always understood the meaning of the two expressions.

However, one correction: "have a change of mind" doesn't sound natural, this expression is "to change (one's) mind", for example, "he changed his mind".
