Since this community was built by David as a place to slow down, I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we trade ideas and inspiration. Share your favorite ways to relax and unwind! I would love for everyone to jump in and add their own rituals, hobbies, and little joys. In my home, I find it very important to have a relaxing atmosphere. I love to play classical music. It just makes everything feel so peaceful! Every morning I open up the window shades to let all of the sunlight into our home and create a bright and uplifting atmosphere. I love to add to the relaxing atmosphere by blending essential oils fragrance and diffusing them throughout the house. Pink grapefruit, red mandarin, and pink lotus are my most uplifting favorites. The whole place ends up smelling like a luxury hotel, and it genuinely boosts my mood ✨🥰✨ If you also enjoy scent mixing, or even candles, please share what you love! Another ritual I treasure is making jewelry. Creating sparkly, beautiful pieces with my hands feels deeply satisfying and life affirming. If you create art, crafts, or anything tactile, I would love to hear about it!! What’s your favorite art material?? There is something powerful about making beauty and calm in the middle of a hectic life ✨💯✨ Please add yours. Do you relax by cooking, painting, listening to music, gardening, moving your body, or just sitting quietly? Jump in and share.

I created a 2nd community less than 4hrs ago. It's currently at #184 in Discovery! (Hobbies) What is happening? Edit: It's at #131 now! 😲

Welcome to Recess. If you're here, you're building a Skool, and you know how lonely it can get at times. The long, hard days. The wins nobody celebrates with you. The losses you don't want to post about. The questions you're embarrassed to ask. The days where you wonder if any of this is working. That's why I built recess. No courses. No content library. No "here's how to 10x your community" spills. Just real people. Real conversations. Real support. Come to vent, share your wins, and grow. ⛳️ HOW TO GET STARTED: 1. Introduce yourself below. Who are you? What's your Skool about? Why did you create it? 2. Read other intros. Find someone whose story resonates. Reply to them. Start a conversation. 3. Ask when you need help. No question is too small. No question is too small. I will respond to all. 4. Give when you can. Your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear. 5. Show up when you can. No daily requirements. No engagement pressure. Come when you need to. Rest when you need to. Recess is what we make it together. Building a community isn't meant to be done alone. And now, you don't have to. 🎉 WHAT HAPPENS HERE: 1. Weekly Skool Spotlight: Every week, one Skool gets pinned at the top. The whole community rallies around it. Feedback, support, members. We lift each other. 2. Monthly Founder Pair-Ups: Get matched with another Skool owner at a similar stage. Accountability. Friendship. Someone who actually gets it. 3. Friday Wins Thread: No win is too small. First member? Post it. Hit 100? Post it. Finally fixed your About page? Post it. We celebrate everything here. Welcome home. 🧡

Imagine we're in an elevator. You have 60 seconds before the door opens. Or I guess you can pull a buddy from elf and make it 60 minutes by pressing every button. But for the sake of this! 60 seconds. Convince us to join your community. Rules: • Keep it under 100 words • Make it compelling • No generic pitches You never know when this might happen. 💭 Drop your 60-second pitch below. Best one gets pinned. 👇

1. Are you watching TV? If so, what tv shows are you watching? 2. Or do your parents have you cleaning? Wrapping up all of your chores... It was always 50/50 for me. You could catch my siblings and I watching X-men, Recess, Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Doug, Arthur depending on the day. Dragon tales, Franklin, Power Rangers, I could go on... But I want to hear what shows you all were watching? The lines of age are blurred now anyway so let's all travel back in time together and share some of our favorite memories. Would your parents have you dusting and doing dishes right now?! Or would you hide away and watch TV? I want to know it all lol! P.S. I'll be with family for most of today so I'll be on and off here. Make sure you do the same. Recess will be here when you return. Be present, and hug your people!
