7 Types of Rest

This assessment is inspired by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith’s framework of the 7 types of rest, which offers a simple and intuitive way to understand how we recharge our energy. The test explores seven different ways we recharge physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and creatively — and where we may not be prioritizing enough recovery in everyday life. 

The purpose of this test is to give you insight into: 
- What kinds of rest you naturally recharge from 
- And where you may not be prioritizing enough recovery in your daily life  

For each one, reflect on: 
- How much it helps you recharge  
- And how much you prioritize it  

You will be presented with ten everyday situations and activities. Answer honestly and intuitively based on what you naturally tend to do. 

There are no right or wrong answers – only different patterns of rest.
