What led you to start opening up and changing your mind?

Making the decision to talk to other people with differing views and actually open myself to listening

That’s literally it. I made the choice to immerse myself in a diverse community and have conversations with differently minded people, and actually heard them out.

So, basically, the willingness to admit that maybe you were wrong, and willing to be convinced of that with adequate proof. Sounds like somewhere along the way you were exposed to critical thinking and/or open-mindedness.
