Why the Best Growth Happens During Recess, Not Productivity

Here's what playground designers know that productivity gurus don't.

The best growth happens during recess.

Teachers understand something profound...

Kids with nervous energy need to run it off.

Recess isn't a break from learning.

It's where the real learning happens.

But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we forgot.

We started believing that productivity means never stopping.

That impact means never resting.

That growth means never playing.

Here's the truth they don't want you to know:

You're complex by design.

When God made you, He broke the mold.

Not because you're perfect, but because you're

perfectly designed for your purpose.

If you're struggling with your identity, rest in this:

There's no assembly line in heaven.

You're not mass-produced.

You're handcrafted.

That should change everything.

But instead of celebrating your uniqueness,

You're trying to fit into someone else's blueprint.

Instead of starting where you are, you're waiting for permission to begin.

Here's what I've learned about starting:

The magic isn't in the size of the step.

It's in the

decision to move.

Whether it's taking that walk daily,

cooking daily,

drinking water daily,

going to the gym

daily,

starting that hobby,

whatever's been weighing on you,

Just start.

There's something that happens when you purpose in your heart to just start.

You don't know the path. You don't know the outcome.

You don't know what tomorrow brings.

But you discover who you are along the way.

The happiest person isn't the one in control.

It's the one who knows they're not in

control and is perfectly fine with that.

Because when you know you're not in control, you can let God have full control.

This is why journaling matters.

Not because it's trendy, but because it's where you

Process the playground of your thoughts.

Break it down into bite-sized pieces.

Start small. Trust the process.

Are you giving yourself permission to play, or are you too busy being productive to

actually grow?
