Why Adult Recess & Play Is Necessary
To Reset For Personal And Professional Success of course!
– Adult Play Can…
Relieve stress.
Play is FUN and often triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals.
1
Improve brain function.
Playing chess, completing puzzles, or pursuing other fun activities that challenge the brain can help prevent memory problems and improve brain function. It can also help ward off stress and depression.
2
Stimulate the mind and boost creativity.
Young children often learn best when they are playing—and that principle applies to adults, as well. You learn new tasks better when it’s fun and you’re in a relaxed, playful mindset. Play can also stimulate your imagination, help you adapt, problem solve, and recognize opportunities faster.
3
Improve relationships, connections and collaborations with others.
Sharing laughter and fun can foster empathy, compassion, trust, and intimacy with others. Play doesn’t have to be a specific activity; it can also be a state of mind. Developing a playful nature can help you better handle stressful situations, break the ice with strangers, make new friends, and form new business relationships easier.
4
Keep you feeling young and energetic.
In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” Playing can boost your energy and vitality and even improve your resistance to disease, helping you feel your best.
