The beginning of the end. The first steps to overcome you problem: • Clear you mind of all distracting ideas. • Try to remember how you used to play games like pretend or make believe. 3. These are the first steps to overcoming this problem!!!
For example: • Remember when you were little and liked to play with swords or dollies. • Remember How you • harnessed this joy.
The Most important part!! • When you look at a problem remember all the joy you used to have with make believe. Then try make believe again… except this time, do it with math.
