Transcript: Hi Everyone and welcome to Run the Dishwasher Twice, thoughts to help you feel more postive. My name is Debbie Lannen and I will be your host. Now just a reminder. I'm not a therapist or a counselor. I'm just like you trying to be happy in this crazy world we live in. Now today the topic I wanna talk about is making a change. Now it doesn't have to be a huge change. If you've been watching and listening to my podcast this is episode #70 and during the course of 1 to 70 you may have seen some changes in me, like my hair got a little bit longer and today it's a whole lot shorter. So that's what I'm talking about. Sometimes in our life we just need to make some kind of a change. You have, like a bad day. You can't shake it off and you think nothing's gonna make it any better and then you know what I think? I'm just gonna make a little bit of a change and see if it helps. So that's what I did. I had kind of a rough day yesterday and I was looking at my hair, which had been growing since the pandemic began and I thought, you know what! It's time to make the move. Now for those of you who've known me for many years my hair has gone from waist length to Liza Minelli short, back to shoulder length. It's all different types but during the pandemic, of course, I did not go out and get my hair cut so it's been growing for about 2 1/2 years. So I just decided it's time for that change. Let me see if it makes me feel a little bit better, and you know what? It does! You just have something a little different in your life. So that's what I mean by making a change. I don't mean you have to jump to a new career or you have to put the house up for sale and move to another city because things aren't going right. Sometime what about putting on a different pair of shoes. Different shoes make you walk a little different. You feel a little different. Sometimes the littlest change can help. Say you always wear the same shoes. They sit by the door. You throw them on and out the door you go. What about putting on a different pair of shoes. A different pair of shoes makes you walk a little bit different and when you walk a little different you feel a little different. Now I'm not saying put on uncomfortable shoes. I'm talking about put on a pair of shoes that are still comfortable, maybe with, you know a different color. So that's the type of changes I'm talking about today. If you always put on a dress, why not wear a pair of pants once in awhile. Or if you're one of the men that happens to listen to this podcast, if you always wear dark colors what the heck, throw something on that's bright! See what happens! It might just change your mood and it might change the people around you because they'll really notice. Hey what's going on? But that's my point. Just make little changes because little changes can add up and become big changes and a big change might be just what you need in this lifetime. So that's my thought for today. Just five minutes to help you, hopefully feel a little bit better about your life. So if things are getting you down, just take the time and make a little change. I hope you have a great week! I will be here on Tuesdays and Saturdays. And remember run the dishwasher twice! Why not!
