    In these “From the Vault Episodes” of the Design Your Life on Purpose Podcast, Cheri introduces a series of conversations with inspiring individuals about designing their lives with intention. These episodes from the vault are never-before-heard recordings filled with valuable insights.

    The guest for this episode is Lisa Duerre, whom Cheri met in a community of amazing people. Despite only interacting on Zoom, Cheri immediately felt a connection with Lisa. Tune in to discover the wisdom and inspiration shared in this engaging conversation about living life on purpose.

    In this episode, Lisa talks about how getting enough sleep is crucial for feeling refreshed and making better decisions. She stresses that sleep is essential for overall well-being and mental clarity, drawing from her own experiences to show how regenerative sleep can positively impact the mind and decision-making process.

    Lisa recognizes that many people might feel overwhelmed and prioritize other tasks over sleep. She understands that busy schedules or responsibilities can make people feel like they have to sacrifice sleep, but she emphasizes how important it is to prioritize rest for personal benefit.

    According to Lisa, getting sufficient restful sleep is vital for functioning at your best. She explains that lack of sleep can lead to irritability, snappiness, and a negative outlook. By prioritizing sleep, individuals can improve their mood and overall well-being.

    Furthermore, Lisa suggests that adequate sleep can sharpen decision-making skills. She points out that when well-rested, the mind is clearer, allowing for better critical thinking and intentional choices. By making sleep a priority, individuals can enhance cognitive functioning and boost productivity.

    Overall, she stresses the importance of prioritizing sleep for rejuvenation and better decision-making. She encourages listeners to pay attention to their sleep patterns and make sleep a priority to enhance overall well-being and cognitive abilities.

    In the episode, Lisa discusses the importance of checking one's "snark factor" and not letting temporary irritations overshadow the bigger picture. She explains that feeling snarky or irritated can sometimes cause individuals to see everything as negative. However, Lisa emphasizes the need to distinguish between momentary irritations and the overall situation. She suggests that feeling snarky in a particular moment doesn't mean everything is broken.

    She advises listeners to be mindful of their snark factor and how they perceive situations. She emphasizes the importance of not letting temporary irritations cloud judgment or outlook. By checking their snark factor, individuals can gain clarity and perspective, preventing excessive negativity or pessimism.

    Lisa also suggests that individuals should be curious about their emotions and reactions. She recommends asking questions like, "When was the last time I laughed?" or "When was the last time I called a friend?" This curiosity helps individuals recognize if they are experiencing burnout or depression, which can manifest as a lack of joy or interest in activities they used to enjoy.

    Overall, Lisa stresses the importance of prioritizing self-awareness and not letting temporary irritations overshadow the bigger picture. By checking their snark factor and being curious about their emotions, individuals can maintain a balanced perspective and prevent negativity from dominating their mindset.

    • Ep 51: When God Calls You On A Landline
