I hate English, but I'm pretty good at it (sorry, English lovers)

I know this probably sounds like it won't work and I don't know if it will actually help, but try and change your mindset about English by faking that you like it.

Can confirm this may work. It did for me

I know this probably sounds like it won't work and I don't know if it will actually help, but try and change your mindset about English by faking that you like it.
I really didn't like English last year, I complained about it to my parents or friends, I think it was a vicious cycle, I would complain about it and how I disliked it and my like for English really plummeted though out the year and my grades for it last year were the worst they've ever been.
I had to read my books over the holidays and I kept telling my mum how boring they were and how I didn't want to do my draft for the creative and I think me repeating that made me dislike it more. My grade three teacher banned us from using the word 'hate' told use to only use dislike and it's stuck with me.
I may be overthinking it but science has proven that 'faking til you make it' in social situations like even if you aren't feeling confident can actually increase your confidence even though at first you were just pretending.
I decided that whenever I felt like making a negative comment about English I would flip it even if I wasn't feeling it. For example I said Yay, I'm really looking forward to English!', whenever I really wasn't. I tried to trick my brain into believing I was.
And to conclude, I really don't know if it was just the fact that I got a better teacher this year, or my forced positivity, but I actually like English this year. I do think it did help.
There have been a lot of research into mindset and I think it can really have an effect on things so, please try it!
Good luck!!

interesting concept and I have  heard of it and watched a whole documentary on it. have a positive and optimistic mindset can actually trick your brain into things you hate doing. 
although for some things, even having a positive mindset ...may not work
eg last year I was doing accounting 1/2 in year 10
at the start of the year I was a bit hesitant but by midway I just gave up and when it came to sit my exam....I got 8% ..yep legit (didn't study for it)
but hey I didn't get the lowest in the class....some kid switching to VCAL was forced to do the exam...so he got 0%
lol anyways ....try and find ways to interest yourself into the subjects you are studying...thats the technique I'm sure using.
