Start here. Come home to your body.
Welcome to Day 1 of the 7 Types of Rest.
I’m Ula - your Queen of Rest - and today we begin with the foundation: Physical Rest.
When most people hear “rest,” they think of sleep.
But physical rest is so much more than 8 hours in bed (and let’s be honest, most of us aren’t even getting that).
This type of rest is about learning to listen to your body - not push through, not numb out, but truly pause.
It’s about recognising where you're holding on too tightly…
…and gently giving your body the permission it’s been waiting for: to let go.
Watch the video for Day 1 below
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.
Or you can listen to the audio here
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?

Coming Up Tomorrow: Mental Rest
We’ll explore why your brain might be draining your energy - even while your body’s still - and what to do about it.
Until then:
Press your feet into the ground.
Roll your shoulders back.
And remember: You’re allowed to rest.
Because rest doesn’t have to wait.
Sometimes, it starts with one breath.
