Well, I’m excited to let you know that you can improve your arithmetic skills no matter how terrible you think you are. I could tell you all day how your mind is not fixed and that you can improve your abilities. But that wouldn’t do you any good because I love math and am good with numbers. You need someone who used to hate this subject and failed most of her courses in it.

A growth mindset comes from the belief that your abilities can be developed through effort.
Switch your thinking from “I am not good at this!” (fixed mindset) to “I can’t do it yet, but I can learn how to do it!” (growth mindset).
Anxiety is a major cause of cognitive load. Instead of your working memory focusing on the task at hand, your short-term memory is filled with irrelevant information. i.e. maths is hard; I hate math; I want to give up.
