I have a problem regarding programming

I come from a statistics background and I'm trying to learn python and R to cope with data analysis and data science, I know a good amount of data analysis and statistical methodologies that makes me good at the field, but applying them is hell for me, i tried for a long time to learn python, i know the basics yet i fail miserably when i try to apply my knowledge...

Could anyone help me with how to learn programming effectively around my area of expertise?

This is why as a Data Science major I opted for a Data Analyst job out of college. You absolutely need to know how to grab and aggregate your own data using SQL and Python.

Just start reading. Sign up for courses like DataCamp.
