Practice. Just do it. Start doing it. Something. Anything. Start with any project that is meaningful to you. It doesn't need to be large or have business value.

You can start with a tutorial that covers building up a small project just to get that first introduction with the technology stack, but don't get into the tutorial loophole because it is usually one way (step by step) learning.

What do you practice when you're a beginner and really don't know what's happening at all? I need a general flow of something before I start making a project. Documentation are very hard to follow. What do you recommend text based tutorials/books or video courses. Do you've any in mind for MERN? Please share!

Everyone was/is a beginner at some point. Even if you think about other areas in life, you need to begin in order to improve, e.g. driving a car, riding a bicycle, using any tool, learning to cook, etc. That's why I recommended to do a tutorial first. A tutorial that is building a small project in a tech stack you are looking for.

For the text based, blogs, books or video courses, it is all up to you. Some people will do better with blogs, some with video courses - there is no general rule. I like text based tutorials because I usually want to try something on my own before continuing with the tutorial. That's why video courses don't work for me because my pace needs to be aligned with the pace from the video which is almost never the case.
