No idea. How does one count thoughts anyways?
I'm a positive person, and quite happy as well, so logical dictates that most of my thoughts are positive. Otherwise I wouldn't feel positive and happy.
And some things are rather neutral, like thinking "Oh, I got to do the washing up"

The mere thought makes my head hurt! Now I need to know if that one thought that 'the mere thought makes my head hurt' is a negative thought or a positive thought. But I just had that second thought without knowing the answer to the first thought, so now I'm behind in thoughts, and is this thought negative or positive? Do you see where I'm going with this?!? frustrated

So my answer is...No more so than you could count the grains of sand on a beach or waves in an ocean. My thoughts run rampant in either direction depending on the weather of my spirit. Sometimes I'm storming, sometimes it's clear sailing and a beautiful day. I only know the general sense of things, can't quantify a specific ratio of positive to negative for all the thoughts that cross my mind on any given day. I'd go insane after ten minutes and I'm already more than half way there! laugh

Life is what you make it.

I spent too many younger days being a grinch...

Now I focus on the positives.

As if thoughts are some junk food....sweet & spicy!

Why & how to count them?

My mind is a thoughts factory....but there isn't any provision for counting the produced quantity....even I forget to count the hairs that I lose due to these thoughts....!

A degree in thinking?

I still don't believe it would be possible, the brain processes a tremendous amount of thoughts in nothing more than ten minutes.

I have a degree in biobehavioral psychology, which is why I said it would be impossible to calculate that ratio of positive to negative thoughts for a day. I know how the brain works, how neurons fire to produce thoughts, and the vast majority of people could never keep track for more than a few minutes. Even if you multiply your one minute assessment by 1440 (# mins/day), you aren't getting a valid result for the 24 hr time frame based on one minute of activity. Plus things change minute to minute during the day so you really would have to sit there ALL DAY contemplating each and every thought. You don't have to be a shrink to know you'd have to be nuts to even attempt such a pointless endeavor! noway
