Do All or Naught; Analyzing an Error of the Mind...

in #mindset6 years ago (edited)

Hi, Steemians!

As you well know, I have started to dive into the study of the human mind so as to bring this community to a more mature understanding of how the human consciousness works.

Starting from the blog post of today, we are going to delve deeper into how our thought process determines our identity and becomes a key factor into our decisions and actions.

Regardless of our level of self-consciousness, our mind is a complicated and layered organism that is always creating and processing and reshaping who we are. It comes with little surprise that such complex system can often be bridled with errors.

These errors are not life-threatening or inherently dangerous to our well-being, but in the long-term, they will turn out to be obstacles in the path of realizing our ideal self.

The mistakes of the mind usually occur in a state of subconsciousness, but its adverse effects can be traced back to our daily routines and the decisions we make in regards to how we decide to spend our time or interact with other people.

Eventually, your passive mind contributes greatly to the health of your active mind, or what we would like to call unadulterated consciousness. Without knowledge of these pitfalls and errors, one can easily succumb to mistakes and as a result, live a life of guilt and regret.

In our series of articles regarding the matter of the erroneous mind, we try to identify these pitfalls and practice a routine of self-awareness to avoid them. For this blog post, we are going to talk about a deceptive error of judgement which results in the utter waste of our daily time.

‘Do all or naught’ is a deceptive parlor trick of the mind. In an absurd sense of judgement, we plan and schedule our day in an efficient manner, but we subconsciously decide to either stick to that plan 100% or do nothing in regards to it if anything goes wrong.

For instance, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you plan to go to the gym for two hours, come back home and study for four hours, work on your projects for five hours, and then take a rest and prepare for the rest of the evening.

When the morning comes, and due to any reason whatsoever, you fail to go to the gym. In that moment, you decide to forsake the plan for the rest of the day and waste your time doing literally nothing, because things do not go according to your plan.

Your subconsciousness does not respect you enough to even give you a valid reason for this behavior.

The excuse for not doing anything at all in regards to your plan is left in a shrouded mist of ambiguity.

Did I decide not to follow through with my plan because I failed to perfectly initiate it?

Did I decide not to do the rest of the things because it would not have been as effective? What is the real reason?

‘Do all or naught’ is a dangerous error of the mind, and a common reason for procrastination.

Take a moment to recall all those Mondays when you planned on starting to do something productive but failed to really start doing it. Think of all the time you wasted as a result of losing your deadlines and deciding not to go through with your plans.

The perfect moment, and the seamless opportunity, will never arrive. It is up to you to create the perfect moment.

That perfect moment is the moment you actually start doing something, in spite of everything that might be wrong in your head about it.

Do not waste precious time waiting for the perfect plan, and the perfect day to launch it.

By becoming aware of this erroneous process of your mind, reflect more on how you start doing things and what you need to do so you can rid yourself of this mental infestation!

A BIG HUG!

Dear @chbartist sir!
The error is an integral part of human life. The conscious mind is that, in the mind with which we make a difference of good evil from which we are able to argue the argument, from which we are able to compute. The subconscious mind is active for 24 hours. It is like storage which is more powerful than the conscious mind. For example, the activity of our daily lives keeps us in our unconscious mind after sleeping, which sometimes has to be a victim of insomnia. Some things are such that the person knows that this is wrong even then we do that thing because the unconscious mind does not make any difference in these things, due to which the chances of error persist. For example, when we go to learn typing, by looking at the letters in the beginning, typing has to be typed and there is a lot of mental reflection to understand the letters. But as soon as we get used to the habit, we do other things while typing properly. In the beginning, the probability of error is very high, but later its percentage is reduced. The main reason for this is that in the beginning we use the conscious mind, but as the data gets accumulated in the subconscious mind then the subconscious mind handles it in its own way, because by then the correct data is collected in the storage.

Hello @certain, your texts are always very meaningful to this blog and that is why I do not give you long answers because I believe your comments are addendums and you are a good person for this community. Thank you!

Thank you sir ! Your encouraging words gives me inspiration to write.
Thank you

You have written the words of very knowledge friend @chbartist
Human mistakes are not only taught to train the brain in a better way, but also taught how to be taught with speed faster than mistakes.
Thank you friend

I think this is a part of human nature. When one action fall from the chain of actions, others also fall down. Because it makes us down.
We often understand how harmful this is in our daily life. And start again from the beginning is a tough task. Then we gradually start to ignore the other related activities too.
Questioning our mind the way you are showing will be a great tool I believe.
And yes waiting for the perfect time is a wrong idea. I also used to do that sometimes and the 'tomorrow' never came.
I am sure your words are gonna help many to think twice and take the step to take action now.

That happened to me many times, however after having my 2 daughters, it does not happen anymore, because with them something unforeseen always happens, or I'm late in something, so ... I plan and if there is something I can not do, I jump to the next point of the plan and it does not paralyze me ... :)

I am joyfully tagging along as you explore these topics of the mind. I am excited to see where this takes all of us, individually and as a group.

Hugs of gratitude my friend.

It was yesterday that read your post for the first time. I found it very interesting and tried to put my own comment. However, as you advised readers, I went back and reviewed some of your previous posts where all with AWESOME SIGHT.

You know what surprised me? Every day you blog at least two posts that have high content and mega interesting topics. I wonder how hard you are working in this platform to build/rebuild purpose driven, self-sufficient and enthusiastic community worldwide. I WISH I COULD participate with you and your fellows. Much Blessings!!!!

Thank you! You are welcome!

The mind ... Our mind is how you mention it, able to allow us to develop our identity and allow us to guess the right or wrong in the set of actions, activities or decisions we make throughout our lives.

There are very clear examples of how powerful our mind is; On one occasion, a relative of a relative very close to me, went to a doctor's office because he had lost many kilos, without any apparent reason, going to the doctor and after a series of tests, the doctor determines that the patient has cancer . . in the liver and that, apparently, already had a considerable time with this disease, the result was that after they told him what he had, unfortunately, he died at 3 months, our mind is so powerful that many times we live. with a disease until we know we have it and that's when the problems get worse.

When we talk about our valuable and appreciated Time, many people, although they are very planned and organized, do not find solutions for certain improvised, as the example given in this post, the mind sometimes does not allow us to move and we remain. Stagnant without knowing what to do, although we know what we have to do.

That is why we have to oxygenate our brain, exercise and distract the mind ... There is nothing more dangerous for the human being than his mind or his brain gets sick ...

regards

Consious Mind and subconscious mind their are two types of brain. The critical faculty of the human mind is an invisible, protective barrier living somewhere between the conscious and subconscious minds. Its function is to constantly evaluate perceptions that are projected in our direction: in thought, word, or action.

Dear chbartist, it is a good thing you've brought to notice how sometimes our subconscious mind tricks us to forsake all we have planned for the day because one plan didn't. This is evident in our lives today, we give up our whole dreams just because one event in our life didn't work out the way we want.
