"Chapter 1 test. 30 problems. Time limit, 90 minutes."
Talk about intimidating!
My mind's thinking hard, doing ... yeah... more math.....
90 minutes divided by 30 problems = 3 minutes each?
YIKES!
That's intimidation..........!
HUGS to everyone!!!
I keep catching parts of the Dr. Dyer show "Excuses Be Gone!" and when I hear something that speaks to me, I like to write it down. Here's a good quote: "When you correct your mind, everything else falls into place". I've thought about that for the past two days, and applied it specifically to my struggles with math class. And I've found that if I don't try and reason, if I just follow what I'm being taught (if this, then do that), then I will succeed. It's all about taking it one step at a time; and don't fret so much (thanks Prof! I really like that word!!)
So, how did that work for me? Well, I completed the second section of chapter 2, passed the homework and the test with 100%. And this morning, I've already completed the first part of tonight's assignment, then its on to the Chapter test tomorrow. Overall, I'm feeling a bit better about math. Those who know me well know that I'll still complain, because math has never been a fav subject! But as I changed my thinking, so did my anxiety about it, and my mind seems able to better function with the stuff.
So think about that quote if you're thinking about changes, or something needing to be changed, get your mind in that place first.
HUGS to everyone!
