I doubt I can leave a good comment right now, because now you have me wondering how much do I think these days. I have never lived as much in the present as I do now. I remember thinking forward when I was young. I remember thinking about being in the present, finding answers to life's issues, when I was middle aged. But then I don't know what happened. I too like the Voltaire quote.

I do believe we should question rather than dismiss.

When it is more severe, I need to think back on that last hour to "What Was I Thinking?" Once I nail that down, the next question is "What is True?"<br /><br />Since doing this exercise, I am now extremely aware of how my thoughts affect the severity of my migraine. For instance, this morning I woke up with a bonecrusher of a migraine. And I KNOW it was a direct result of my dreams. And those dreams were all of my pent-up frustration and anger unleashed via my subconscious.<br /><br />Other times, when it amps up during the day I can pinpoint it right to its source. I am thinking something about myself or someone else that is upsetting. Sometimes the thoughts are valid and sometimes not. "Is that true?" Well, that is one of the best questions we can ask ourselves. Right there with it... is that thought hurting me or helping me?
