"Pause" means a temporary stop or interruption of actions or words. Here, "pause" carries the nuance of taking a break and relaxing after being busy and going places. It can also be a temporary stop or interruption of videos or music on electronic devices. You can use the word pause to indicate that you want to take a break from something, to indicate a brief stop in an activity, or with electronics! Ex: I paused the movie to talk to my friend. Ex: Let's pause for a moment. I need to catch my breath. => physical activity or exercise Ex: You need to take time to pause in your week. => take a break
