The National Science foundation claims an average person has between 12,000-60,000 thoughts per day. Other sources claim at least 6,000 thoughts per day are processed. This is due to the signals that travel through our brain’s neurons to generate memories, thoughts, and feelings. The Cleveland Clinic proposes we have about 70,000 thoughts per day. If there are 24 hours in a day that’s 1440 minutes per day. That’s about 48 thoughts per minute (this is a rough estimate concerning 70,000 thoughts a day).
Everyday I try to block out the noise, in my mind. Now it makes sense we have so many thoughts a day. There’s no way each thought is credible. Some are extreme and others are essential. Each thought can be summoned at different parts of the day. When you are at work, out at dinner, spending time with friends, family, and the list goes on. It can also vary depending on your emotions. If a person feels stressed, pressured, calm, happy, or angry. Thoughts have a huge influence on our daily outcome.
On the days when it’s too much, how do we block out all that noise? It’s up to us to look deep within ourselves and recognize it’s just background noise.
This also applies to being worried about others opinions. If they have at least 6,000 thoughts per day there’s no way a few thoughts of you even matters. Again, how do we block out the noise in our minds? First of all, we rank which are the most reasonable thoughts in that moment. The rest can pass our minds and just stick to being what it is. A thought. Nothing more or less because I give no power to IT.
