So I decided to go to bed early and forgo my final walk, because I’m coming down with a bad cold and I have no energy. And while sitting with the anxiety over not hitting my step goal, I remembered that I don’t need to sit and “justify” my decision. Any reason is a valid reason to get rest when needed.
Ignore your anxiety, and ignore diet culture. If you can’t exercise, that’s okay! Rest is just as important, if not more important, to your physical and mental health.
