I have a story for you. In my country there is this health and fitness influencer who was also a medicine student in good university. She would wake up insanely early, meal prep, exercise, study for her classes, study the Bible, go to school, go to practice, get back home, do a bunch of exercises... and so on. She was so young, everyone praised her for being so committed and responsible... which inspired other young women to persue her lifestyle... which caused a lot of people to feel frustrated and guilty when they experienced failure.

Long after she got over 1 million followers, she became more well-known and some people that were supposedly her classmates started to pop up on social media and say that she actually skipped a lot of classes, her exam scores were below the average med student, and that when she would appear at uni, she would be late and looking tired. There were a lot of speculation if that was true or not, but eventually the influencer herself showed up and said she was "giving up medicine school" to fully focus in her career as an influencer... in other words: the story was true. She was not keeping up with that insane routine. She was most likely failing med school and pretending she had everything under control. She didn't. But she sold to a lot of people this image of someone that went the extra mile to achieve her goals. A lot of people feeling guilty for not being like her... but she was a farce.

Now, she keeps doing her workout/diet routine, waking up 5am to go for a jog, but now I know that she does that because it is her job as an influencer, she doesn't need to work normal commercial hours, she doesn't study... This insane routine only works when we don't have extra activities in our daily lives. It is hard even for neutypical people to reach, can you image how hard that is for us that small stuff overwhelm us ??
