pause doesn't mean stop

On my miniblog I've documented my new routine of doing a minimum of 10 minutes of exercise a day. I haven't done my ten minutes yesterday and today doesn't look good either.Now i wrote that down, I could feel shame or disappointment. Just this decision to hit pause makes me realise I've truly let go of the perfectionist in me. I'm actually proud of myself. I see hitting pause as an act of self care.You see, I'm asthmatic and we are in a heatwave. My body says I need to slow down so I slow down. Tomorrow is a new day.I'm already excited about going to the gym soon because the heatwave is breaking.Hitting pause doesn't mean I stop exercising altogether.It just means that I care for myself.
