And how many of those same thoughts are repetitive and negative?
A 2020 study found that the average person has over 6,000 thoughts per day, based on brain imaging that tracked "thought transitions"—shifts in brain activity indicating the start of a new thought. Researchers used movies to trigger these transitions, observing about 6.5 thought shifts per minute. This consistent rate, applied over waking hours, led to an estimate of 6,000+ daily thoughts. While the method offers a useful benchmark, it's not a precise measure, and thought frequency can vary throughout the day depending on factors like mood, stress, and mental activity.

How many thoughts do
you have per minute?
Each day, our minds process an overwhelming flow of thoughts—from everyday chores to profound reflections on life and the world around us. Research suggests the average person has around 60,000 thoughts daily. Alarmingly, 75% of these thoughts are negative, and 95% are repetitive. Much of this negativity stems from the brain’s fight-or-flight response, which is wired to focus on potential threats. Over time, this cycle of negative and recurring thoughts can take a serious toll on our mental health, happiness, and overall well-being.
