Ciao from the Amalfi Coast

Hi ,

I hope you all had an amazing week and are ready to rock June.

I am currently sitting on our patio, overlooking the sea on a much needed rest day. It’s funny, you go on vacation as a break from your regular life, but rarely do we actually rest.

My husband and I have been nonstop for 90% of our trip and after some flops and frustration in our day yesterday, we are taking today to be lazy and enjoy our Airbnb. How gorgeous is it? 🐬 

This perfectly leads us into the message I want to share this week and that is prioritizing rest. Our society is so “Go, go, go” that we often see rest as being lazy and non productive. I remember glorifying being able to function on barely any sleep. I looked up to people who had packed schedules and little to no free time. I felt like a piece of sh*t if I took a day to relax.

As I’ve gotten older, my body and mind force me to rest if I don’t slow myself down. This morning for example, I woke up with a stiff neck, sore shoulder, and achy knees. We already had today planned to rest, but the physical ailments were the extra nudge to just chill.

Now I look forward to and enjoy slower days and moments. ☮️ 

So this week, take time to rest. Put your phone away, grab a good book, take a nap, book a spa day, whatever it is, do it. Do not skimp out on this. Just like rest days from the gym are important for your muscles, a rest day overall is good for your soul.

I also recognize that everyone’s lives are different. Here I am chillin in Italy, telling you to rest, while you could have a million things going on. But remember something is better than nothing and promise yourself to take a little time for you. 💗 

Thanks so much for reading. Have a lovely week ahead!

*I’ll be back in the states next week so my calendar is open for readings and healings. Schedule some you time and head to ericadesiree.com or reply to this email and we can get you on schedule. ✨ 

Much love,
