It doesn't matter if you don't post anything about your life on social media. Learn to have silent celebrations, real celebrations. Be happy within. Its about you and your Lord. It has nothing to do with the rest of the world.
Shaykh Dr. 'Abdur-Rahmān Al-'Umaysān حفظه الله stated:
"Having good thoughts with no actions is heedlessness and deception. Having good actions with bad thoughts is despair and corruption. Therefore, have good actions and good thoughts for Allāh is forgiving and grateful."

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:
“Overall, the planning of Allāh for you is certainly better than the plans you have set for your own self. He may avert what you wish to test you, so show Him the good patience you have and then you will see what will please your heart.”
(Captured Thoughts p. 464, Saydil al-Khātir)

لسنا سوى عابرين سبيل في هذه الحياة
سنمضي يوما تاركين خلفنا كل شيء للأحياء
'We are only travellers in this life,
soon we'll pass, leaving everything behind us for the living'

Sh.Islam b.Taymiyyah writes:
“It is not from the conditions of being pious that you don’t commit sins. If that was the case, then there would be no pious people in the world! In fact, he who repents and follows his sins up with good deed, is from the Muttaqīn”
[منهاج السنة]

How to remain consistent on a good habit
1. Stop expecting overnight change.
Habits are not developed overnight, it's takes weeks to get out of old or bad habits and change them for better ones.
2. Getting back to it after a failure.
When on the road to developing new habits, you WILL FAIL atleast once or twice and people like me 100x before getting it right.
What is important when trying to gain Good habits are to keep dusting yourself off after failure and trying again.
You'll get it. May not after the first it second try. But you'll get it.

3. Stay on schedule.
Not everyday will be the same.
Some days you'll run late, you'll oversleep, you'll have to deal with mental and physical health.
Even in these times. Stick to your habits even if less in amount.
If you usually read 1 juz, read a half, read a quarter.
But don't skip your daily duty
4. Stop expecting perfection
When we expect perfection, anything less we deem failure.
This is inaccurate. It won't be perfect. It'll never be. There's always be room for improvement.
So waiting for perfection, means you'll simply never develop that good habit.
Because perfection is simply not anyone's reality.
5. Consistency and patience

الاشتغال بما يفيد
Busy yourself with what benefits
فأنفع الدواء أن تشغل بالفكر فيما يعنيك دون ما لا يعنيك
The most beneficial cure is to busy yourself with thinking about what concerns you without that which does not concern you
فالفكر فيما لا يعني باب كل شر
For thinking about what does not concern you is the door to every evil
ومن فكّر فيما لا يعنيه فاته ما يعنيه
And whoever thinks about what does not concern him, he misses what does concern him
واشتغل عن أنفع الأشياء له بما لا منفعة له فيه
And he had busied himself over what is most beneficial for him that which has not benefit for him
[ابن القيم رحمه الله، الفوائد: 255]

You have nothing to prove to anyone besides yourself. Everyday be a better version of yourself. Challenge yourself to be a better Muslim in every way. Islam teaches us to reach excellence. (احسان)

“Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty but that Allāh ﷻ will replace it with something better.”

Sincerity —
The Faqih said:
« It was narrated to us, that The Prophet ﷺ said: “The thing that I fear most for you is minor shirk.”
They said: “O Messenger of Allaah, what is minor shirk?”
He said: “Showing off, for Allah will say on the Day when people are recompensed for their actions:
‘Go to those for whom you were showing off with your deeds in the world, and see what reward you find with them.’ »
The Faqih said: “This will he said to them because the deeds they performed in the Dunya was for the sake of deceiving [others], so in The Day of Judgement they will be treated based upon that.
Allah تعالى said: { Surely the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but He outwits them. } ... meaning he’ll reward them accordingly for their attempt at deceiving others.
So their actions will be rendered useless and will not be rewarded.

And it will be said to them: “Go to those for whom you were showing off with your deeds” ... because their deeds hold no worth in Allah’s eyes as they were not doing it sincerely for His sake.
The slave will only be rewarded if their action is solely for the sake of Allah ﷻ, because if it was for other than his sake [showing off to others] it falls under minor shirk, and Allah is free from the one who does such an act. »
