Why is physics way harder than math for me?

I barely scrape by doing basic physics, cause everytime I'm given a problem I blank out, and have no idea how to set the equations. However, I'm doing extremely good in calculus and other mathematics. I'm trying to crack down on the root of the problem. Any suggestions?

What's a physics problem example where you blanked out.

Small steps at a time, like your penguin friend in the picture.

You can get good at solving low level maths just by learning how it's done and repeating the process over and over, a physics problem usually requires at least a small amount of actual understanding and problem solving skills.
It's not that physics is harder than maths, just you haven't reached the hard maths that requires more that just memorising how it's done and you haven't developed the problem solving skills physics and high level maths require

It's just different kind of problems. Solve more physics exercises and you will eventually develop intuition.

Op here. I've thought about it a bit more and I think it comes down to confidence. Everytime I take a stab at a problem there is tremendous self doubt, and I tend to over-complicate things. I suppose doing more exercises would remedy this.
