Getting discouraged / splitting a workout

I feel as though my fitness level dropped.

I can't hold a plank for as long as I was able to. I can't do HIIT + lower body strength (even if it's 10 minutes).

2 weeks ago I had a horrible migraine attack which made working out impossible for the whole week. Besides a lot of stress which this horrendous world situation caused, I suspect a trigger for migraine was also too much working out.

I decided to take a step back and shorten my workouts. And that went along fine until I discovered that I really struggle with lower body strength, which is kind of odd since my legs look strong.

So my question is: would it be okay to do HIIT and then after some time lower body strength? Like HIIT in the morning, strength in the afternoon?

I just feel sluggish and unmotivated. I'd like to get rid of my perfectionism.
