Create Your Own Rest Menu: A Simple Tool to Recharge with Intention
Create Your Own Rest Menu: A Simple Tool to Recharge with Intention
Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a rhythm. And yet, for many of us, the idea of “resting” can feel vague, indulgent, or even unproductive. That’s why I created a simple, no-nonsense worksheet to help you name the types of rest you need—and actually apply them in your daily routine.
The Daily Rest Menu Worksheet offers four categories of restful practices so you can easily match your energy, time, and needs with the right kind of activities (that you love). Here’s how it works:
Create a list of what YOU find restful in 4 different categories.

5-Minute:
Quick resets that fit into even the busiest day. Think deep breaths, a moment of silence, or a short walk outside.
Ambitious:
Rest that requires a bit more planning or time—like taking a slow morning, a tech-free afternoon, or journaling.
No Time / No Energy:
For the moments when you feel drained, this section reminds you that rest can be incredibly small and still worthwhile. Things like going outside, lying down for 3 minutes, or just doing nothing.
Splurge-Worthy:
These cost a little bit of money... for a big turn out. Things like getting yourself an iced coffee, a 'sweet little treat', or going out to dinner with a friend.
As a part of your daily rhythms, try to commit to one small act of rest, no matter how small.

The beauty of this worksheet is that it puts rest within reach. You don’t need a weekend away to recover—you just need to know what works for you in this moment, and choose one small step at a time.
This worksheet is a tool to remind you: rest should be a part of daily life, not a reward for burning out. I hope it helps you pause with purpose and breathe a little easier. Download it below and start building your personalized rest menu today.
