Hating algebra is a common feeling. But that hatred is a barrier to success. Let's change your mindset.

First, understand that you don't hate 'algebra.' You hate the *feeling* of being confused and powerless.

So, our goal is to change that feeling. We do this by creating small, confident wins.

Reframe it. Stop seeing it as a school subject. Start seeing it as a video game, a secret code, or a logic puzzle.

Find your 'Why.' How will being a better logical thinker help you in your desired career or life? Connect it to a real goal.

Personify the struggle. You are a hero, and the algebra problem is a dragon to be slain. It's an adventure.

Focus on the process, not the outcome. Your only goal for today is to struggle with a problem for 15 minutes. That's a win.

Celebrate tiny victories. You solved a two-step equation? Awesome. Acknowledge the win.

Your mindset is not fixed. It is a choice. You can choose to see this as a frustrating wall or an exciting mountain to climb.

Change your story about algebra, and you will change your entire experience with it.
