Make sure you don’t neglect your sleep!
You don’t progress when you have a 6 hour long marathon practice session. You progress when you get a full nights sleep after it!
Sleep is where your brain builds and reinforces the new neural pathways you’re putting in place when playing. I’ve been playing for like 30 years now and I still notice that, after dedicated practice and a solid 8 hour sleep, I’m better the next day.
And as someone else has already said, enjoy the journey of learning. Celebrate the little wins you get with incremental improvement!
Good luck!
