If you're good with mathematics try to view analytical problems in a mathematical way by means of logic

Basic logic doesn't help you with making good analytical decisions in most situations. If it would computer would be intelligent but they aren't.
Analysis is always about having incomplete knowledge.
That means that you will produce from time to time wrong answer even when you use the perfect strategy to deal with a problem given the information that you have.
That is crucial to understand because a lot of people are trained in university that it's bad to produce wrong answers.
On way to think analytical is to use models. Models don't have to be perfect.
If you look at a smiling person you might use your mental happy person model.
If you have a problem try different models and ask the question: "What would if mean if this model accurately describes the situation?"
Now you go consciously and unconsciously through a bunch of models in our memory and search for the model that fits best.
Maybe you also need multiple model to understand distinct areas of the problem.
Having a diverse set of models in your head is helpful.
Maybe you dismiss certain models out of hand at the moment and you would improve your abilities by consciously applying wild models to problems to broaden your view of problems.
