Too many. Although, I've learned to slow it down a bit.

One minute I'm - "uhhhhh", next minute, there are so many that I get confused. Clear concise thought - is what I strive for. Maybe tomorrow.

Wow Chai. That's a lot of thoughts in one minute. Those are funny - crap - now I am overthinking what I am posting...I keep editing. SHAT.

Thank you Cliff hanger, farmerman, chai2, mismi, for your input.
farmerman. We haven't threaded since pumpkin seeds and borscht soup. Heard you had some health issues. "Im in a hospital" thread, says your doing o.k. That is good.
chai2. Any relation to chai? Gauging the laughing cramp I received from reading your post, your one in the same.

@alex240101,
okay Alex...realistically - depends on my focus - as I already somewhat touched on...Really hard to say - since I talk stream of consciousness - write that way too sometimes. Thought processes follow the same route.

This link says we have 50,000 thoughts per day (up to or around)
http://www.sentientdevelopments.com/2007/03/managing-your-50000-daily-thoughts.html
so around 35 per minute? Is that right? There is no way I can be conscious of all 35 thoughts is there?

blows my mind.

I'm a thinker, so quite a few usually. I have been told I think too much many times. Funny, I didn't realize one could think too much.

@littlek,
Do you think it is 35 per minute littlek? I had no idea that it could be that much in a minute. Or...maybe I am not understanding correctly - 35 seperate and distinct thoughts? 60 seconds...wow

You have a hairy brain Reyn?

@littlek,
You think too much. Here's an old Navajo tale.

Rabbit gets up and goes looking for breakfast. Rabbit knows there are hawks around, so he stays under the sage and rabbitbush. Now, it happens that Hawk also gets up and goes looking for breakfast. Perches in a pinion at the top of the canyon, and gazes around. Nothing. He goes soaring out over the canyon. Still nothing. Frustrated, or just smart, he lets out this blood curdling scream. Rabbit, hidden in the brush thinks, Hawk sees me. Run Rabbit, run. Hawk has breakfast.

Navajo tells you you think too much, it's time to reappraise the situation.

Neat article mismi. Bananas anyone? As your article stated: too many people, spend too much time, thinking about the past and future. People over analyze, like Rogers Navajo story.
Why do people put stock into what other strangers think?
littlek. Can you recommend a hearty rhododendron suited for Michigans climate?
