I Love Working Out

I am feeling frustrated lately. I am exercising but I am slacking off and I don't know why exactly. I need to be doing MORE and I am doing less. The motivation is there, but it's like my body is rebelling onto moving into a higher level. Am I pushing to hard, what causes this?
(If anyone has any answers I would actually like to know, lol.)
I will say ever since I decided to do this 5K in October is when I noticed this problem. I don't feel ready for it, and perhaps I am psyching myself out. It will be my first one. Over the course of a day I am doing 2- 21/2 miles. It's only a little over another mile to get there, so what am I so scared of?
After years of neglect I am finally paying attention to my body again. I worry that I won't be able to complete it and I hate failure, so perhaps there is some internal sabotage at play.
Maybe I should reconsider it. Prior to the idea of this 5K I was pushing myself harder and getting my steps in, sigh.
Not giving up, not quitting, but definitely frustrated.

Yes, please rest. There is nothing so good and natural for you than plain ole rest. Sleep is so vital and helps ease the mind to coordinate with your body.🤗
