30 Deep "Shower Thoughts" From This Viral TikToker That Are So True and Eye-Opening
Well, shower thoughts aren't limited to just showers.
Sometimes, we get some really good inspiration while showering, and I’m talking about things that make a whole lot of sense but that people tend to neglect. In spite of the name, shower thoughts aren't limited to just showers.
From long strolls to cutting the grass, numerous daily activities seem to create the right circumstances for the brain to have these little moments of realization. Yet, these also end up being situations where it's hard to take notes. According to Dr. Dan Gilbert, a happiness researcher, "Our minds often wander during routine tasks, allowing for creative insights to emerge."
There hasn’t been much experimentation on why we get these irregular bits of insight, but psychology has a particular theory that describes a mental state that appears to instigate this type of thinking. It is known as the "default mode network."
When you are in this state, you become less aware of your environment and more aware of your inner thoughts. Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist, notes that "Engaging in mechanical tasks can free up mental space for deeper thinking." However, getting a piece of paper and a pen can pull you away from the experience.
Nonetheless, there is a TikTok user who seems to have figured out how the system works. His account on TikTok goes by the nickname "Shower Thoughts Guy," and he continually creates videos that allow him to maintain this title.

One common thing about these activities is that they are active both physically and mentally, but in a mild way. These activities also tend to be familiar and comfortable enough that we stay entertained and keep going, leading to a continuous stream of thoughts.
