One small shift a day. One step closer to the kind of rest that actually restores.
7 Types of Rest
One small shift a day. One step closer to the kind of rest that actually restores.
Welcome to the 7 Types of Rest Series
Hi, I’m Ula Caroto - Energy Intelligence Coach and your Queen of Rest.
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’ll guide you through the 7 types of rest your nervous system is actually craving — one short video and one small shift at a time.
You don’t need more sleep. You need the right kind of rest.
I suggest you watch the initial Welcome Video and Chaos to Calm Reset, and thereafter 1 Rest video each day.
What if I miss a day? No problem.
This isn’t about perfection - it’s about permission.
You can come back to any video, any time.
One small shift at a time… that’s how rest becomes real.

Welcome
Watch this quick welcome video to find out what to expect - including how to make the most of the series in just a few minutes a day. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just real rest.
I have also created a reflection workbook which you can download by clicking the button below to help you go deeper into each Rest exercise.
The Chaos to Calm Reset
Before we begin, watch the below video to try a 2-minute breath practice that will help you exhale, ground, and finally pause.
The Chaos to Calm Reset
Day 1: Physical Rest
Before we begin, watch the below video to try a 2-minute breath practice that will help you exhale, ground, and finally pause.
In today’s short video, I’ll guide you through a simple, grounding reset you can do right now - no mat, nap, or spa day needed. All you need is your body and a moment of pause. Let’s reconnect with your physical self - not as something to fix, but as something to care for.
After You Watch: A Gentle Reflection
Take 1–2 minutes to check in with yourself:
How did this feel in your body?
What shifted - physically, mentally, emotionally?
Where did you feel the most tension… and where did you feel release?
Would this be something you could come back to in your day?
No overthinking. Just notice.
This is your practice now - and it starts with awareness.
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a moment to check in:
Where are you holding tension right now?
How did your body respond to that short pause?
What’s one small act of physical rest you can give yourself today?
Day 2: Mental Rest
Day 3: Sensory Rest
In today’s short video, I’ll guide you through a grounding practice called 5-4-3-2-1 - a quick and powerful way to come back to the present moment. No special setup needed. Just your senses.
Press play and give your mind a moment of peace.
Today’s guided practice is a Palm-to-Face Reset - a simple, sensory-soothing ritual you can do anywhere.
We’ll warm the hands, cover the eyes, and settle into darkness and stillness.
No fancy props. Just your own touch and a few quiet breaths.
Press play to give your senses a moment of calm.
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a few minutes to reflect:
What surprised you about this moment of stillness?
Which part of the exercise felt easiest - and which felt hardest?
What’s one small way you could weave this into your day?
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a few minutes to reflect:
Which of your senses feels most overstimulated lately?
What’s one small way you could soften or reduce that input today?
What does overstimulation feel like in your body?
Day 4: Emotional Rest
Day 5: Creative Rest
Today’s guided practice is the Hand-on-Heart Pause - a small, steady moment to check in with yourself and let your heart exhale.
You don’t have to “get emotional.”
You just have to be real - even if it’s just for a breath.
Press play when you’re ready.
Today’s practice is called the Mini Beauty Hunt - a short, simple way to reconnect with beauty and wonder in the everyday.
You don’t need a museum or a masterpiece.
Just a moment, and your eyes.
Press play and let’s go exploring.
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a moment to check in:
What emotions have I been pushing down or avoiding?
What would it feel like to stop performing "fine"?
Where in my life do I need emotional rest most?
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a few minutes to reflect:
What did you find beautiful today - and why?
When was the last time you felt inspired just by noticing?
Where could you make more space for beauty or awe in your daily life?
Day 6: Social Rest Rest
Day 7: Spiritual Rest
Today’s guided practice is called The One True Friend Moment - a simple yet powerful visualisation that helps your body remember what it feels like to be accepted, seen, and safe in connection.
Press play and give your nervous system a chance to exhale.
In today’s video, I’ll guide you through two simple spiritual rest practices - one rooted in nature, and one anchored in your values.
Press play, follow along, and choose whichever path calls to you today - or try both.
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a few minutes to reflect:
Who in your life truly sees you?
Where are you over-extending, over-explaining, or hiding parts of yourself?
What kind of social support do you wish you had more of right now?
Gentle Reflection
Once you’ve done the practice, take a few minutes to reflect:
What anchors you when life feels overwhelming?
What’s one small way you could reconnect to your values this week?
Where in your life do you feel most spiritually “at home”?
Wrap Up
In this final video, I’ll share:
What to notice after completing this journey
How to keep the momentum going - even in tiny ways
A loving reminder that you’re allowed to do things differently
And an invitation to take this work deeper with a free 1:1 Rest Consultation
