What does it actually look like to build a new habit from scratch? In this lifestyle vlog, I am sharing the raw reality and awkward first days of my 1 week of learning guitar journey.

I wanted to see what happens when a total beginner tries to restructure their daily routine and stay consistent for 4 days in a row. From the initial excitement on Day 1 to almost throwing in the towel on Day 2, this is the unpolished truth about habit tracking, overcoming the early struggle, and building personal discipline.
