okay so like

exercise that

* won't fuck with any of my disabilities
* won't feel impossible to start or maintain
* won't get blockaded by my executive function or wtfever before I get started
* won't cost money
* won't make me feel like a fail on the grounds of continuing to not meet the 150 min/wk moderate exercise guideline
* won't tempt me into excessive ambition
* will help me learn patience
* will help me increase some number of my strength, flexibility, endurance, and cardiovascular health
* will start where I am wrt all four such
* will be enjoyable, not chorelike

am I chasing a unicorn here?

(I really appreciate the effort you all put in last time I posted here! just none of your suggestions stuck. /o\ and it's incredibly frustrating.)

(also I don't understand why I chose today to start caring again? I have been complaining all week about through-the-roof pain! this is maybe not the week to reinstate a practice of physicality?)

Who says you have to get through a whole song?

Doing moving with music for 30 seconds of a 4-minute song you can look at either as trying dancing and failing (to complete a 5 minute song) or trying dancing and succeeding (in doing more movement on purpose than you would have otherwise).
Both are true.
You get to pick which way you'll think about it.
Pick the one where you feel encouraged about what you did, and willing to do some more.
