Do you ever feel like the universe just doesn't want you to improve yourself?

So I've found that virtually every freaking time I take a small 1/2-1 week break from exercising the DAY i get back to working out something always prevents me. Last time I slept on my shoulder wrong and it affected how much I could lift weights because the pain was strong in my shoulder. This time I get a case of the runs the day I decide to go back.(and yeah it was leg day)

It's like okay nature I get it you refuse to let me become a better version of me because screw me that's why...

YES. The universe seems to want to prevent me from kicking ass in track... Shortly before the start of track season I got a stress fracture, I missed four entire meets, but when I was able to run again I got tendonitis. My tendonitis, after two weeks, is feeling better but now I have these horrible allergies. I'm pushing through it though. It was all going so well before my injuries and I've been excited for this particular season for YEARS. I kept working out even when I had my stress fracture and I'm in great shape so I'm very proud of that, but I run hurdles and I haven't done hurdles in like six weeks and I'm running in a varsity meet this weekend... so we'll see how that goes haha. With my luck I'll re-injure myself for sure.

I re-injured myself lmao

haha aww I'm sorry. That must be super frustrating. I hope you're alright.

I've felt that way before, but I typically end of reminding myself that I'm hardly significant enough for the universe to want to dick with me specifically. So I fall onto the conclusion that: "Shit just happens."

Every time we reach a new level in ourselves, there's always going to be resistance, it's funny how life works that way. You just gotta fight against it and push your way through.
