You can just stop.
You can leave a class.
You can stop a video.
You can decide to lay down.
You can put down the weight.
You can cancel a membership.

No pain, no gain, it’s a stupid expression. And certainly, if you are competing, against yourself or others, you might want to push. And if that competition is coming from a healthy place, then, by all means, get it. And if that competition is coming from an unhealthy place or a place that leaves you feeling yucky, you can leave it.

You can just stop. Come back when it feels better. Reevaluate the nature of your relationship with movement. Get curious about how you want to feel.

AND, YOU CAN JUST STOP.
