Hello again, dear Steemians! If you remember my blog post from a few days ago, we talked about a cognitive error of the subconscious mind. In today’s blog post, we are going to expand on the definition that we explained earlier. As we stated before, our mind is a complex organism that is constantly processing data in a layered and multi-functional realm of thought and experience. In this complicated system, erroneous fusions are hardly something surprising. These errors are not inherently dangerous or life-threatening, but they can adequately become an obstacle in your way. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTrkoKnfA8nhR6mndBtZBecKu3ENSAEfmYwR61KP7LEmW/image1.jpg) img src

What we call ‘do all or naught’ is a parlor trick of the mind, compelling you to procrastinate the things that you should get on with doing, because through your urge of idealism, you cannot find the perfect circumstance to perform your task. You decide to start studying for your exam on a particular hour of the day, but when merely minutes pass from your pre-chosen time, you forsake the endeavor. Your mind doesn’t have a reasonable or valid excuse for such decision, but you forsake your task nonetheless. You are either all in for something, or you completely forsake it. That is why we call this cognitive distortion ‘all or naught’! But this erroneous train of thought is not limited to our decisions and actions. ‘All or naught’ also has roots in your mindset and worldview, often resulting in devastating outlooks that ruin the lives of their owners. This is what we are going to discuss in our today’s post. ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTqxsyf7Y9SzM27KGiUFWBwM8fjjU7eqtjBGCs7HdNLoA/image3.jpg) img src

People who subconsciously fall prey to this parlor trick of the mind are prone to losing their sense of argument and logic. As they grow with this cognitive distortion, they will begin to see world as a plain of black and white, utterly rejecting the idea that some things are grey and a mixture of good and bad. This is absolution, and leads to a fallacious thought pattern. For people who see this world as a slate of black and white, everything must either be good or bad, beneficial or hurtful, right or wrong, pleasant or bitter. For them, the idea that everything has its different sides and dimensions is completely incomprehensible and ludicrous. Their resolve in tagging everything with a particular adjective without considering the other aspects and elements of those things will also reduce their empathy to the point of cruelty. It may not be their fault, it is just the erroneous thought pattern that compels them to see the world in an absolute and unshakable form. ![image4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVEt9iUQMKNfi1o9eUxPR6v6UeUjMfE9fj5bSRAvsrGDF/image4.jpg) img src

Nature tells us that nothing is absolute. Philosophy tells us that everything is arguable from different perspectives. That is why ‘all or naught’ as an outlook can be a devastating thought pattern. As said in the previous blog post, you need to be more self-aware of how you make your decisions and perform your tasks. Today I want to say that you need to be more self-aware of how you see the world and wreathe meaning into it with your thought. ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaK8Z7vY7SyTkANsXiwifC3YCBjXSKhtHezarsLbueSak/image2.jpg) img src

For life is not completely pleasant, nor is it utterly bitter. Your existence is not entirely joyous, and nor is it altogether wicked. Every aspect of existence is a mixture of different elements and perspectives. Join the fight against cognitive distortions and erroneous mind patterns today by bringing self-awareness to your outlook and thought. A BIG HUG! @chbartist ================== Important Note!
