What is the origin of the idiom "in two minds" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "in two minds" can be attributed to the figurative use of the word "mind" to represent one's thoughts, opinions, or decision-making process. The phrase emerged from the concept of internal conflict or ambivalence, where individuals experience a division within their own minds, torn between two opposing ideas or choices. It is commonly used when discussing personal choices, dilemmas, or preferences.
