all or nothing thinking

Impact of All or Nothing Thinking
For entrepreneurs, all-or-nothing thinking reflects in areas such as time management, task prioritization, and perfectionism. This mindset can lead to a constant battle with scheduling disruptions, forgetting tasks, and dealing with an overload of responsibilities. Moreover, the pursuit of perfection can become a hindrance, either by demanding specific conditions before embarking on a task, or needing tasks to be perfect before presenting them to the world. Amber discusses the impacts of this mindset in the world of business, pinpointing perfectionism as a common stumbling block for entrepreneurs with ADHD. She talks about 'front end' and 'back end' perfectionism that puts unnecessary pressure and hampers progress. She also touches on the effects of this pattern on executive functioning, leading to struggles with time management, task prioritization, and back-to-back commitments.

All or nothing thinking is a form of self sabotage and distorted thinking.  It will prevent you from starting projects, victim mentality, anger and self loathing.  The gray area is where sustainable self love, relationships and goals live.  Failure, mistakes and the unknown live in the gray area.  When you fear those things you are in the all or nothing distorted mindset.

All or nothing thinking is when you evaluate your life in extreme terms. It makes you evaluate your life in only two ways; perfection or utter failure. We can let this way of thinking creep into how we describe our weeks, and even days – and this deletes all the medium moments and okayness of our lives! In this episode we’re going to teach you how to stop doing it – and feel fine with being fine.

Have you ever thought, "I might as well not exercise today since I ate all those cookies today." Or maybe you have thought "If I can't declutter my house, why start at all."

This is all or nothing thinking.  When you view things as zero to 100. This type of thinking causes you to look at extremes and forget about options 1-99.

You can see this in trying to implement self-care, meal planning, stress coping and so many other areas of your life if you pay attention. So what's the problem with thinking like this?

It affects what we choose to do or not do, how we show up, and how we talk to ourselves.

This is why my guest, Shawna, is here to help us. In this episode we talk about:

• What is this all or nothing mentality
• How the all or nothing mentality can show up in our lives
• What  steps that we can take to shift the all or nothing mentality
• How to be more intentional and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings daily

If you are ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mentality, check out this full episode.
