Is there a correct method of accepting catalyst?

[Matt1]

Hmm, i don't over think acceptance and balancing, i find if you do your not really doing the acceptance and balancing if you get me.

I simply become aware of thoughts/emotion at any given moment and just let them be, being mindful of them. This is acceptance in my view.
The balancing for me is finding a middleway between the extremes of different thoughts/emotion. If i become aware of anger, i simply watch it unfold in my mind and let it play out it's catalyst, then i look to the reasons for the emotion/thought or the understanding, then i simply try and find a middle ground, if its anger i try and have positive thoughts/emotions balancing that anger with love. etc

Sacrifice isn't balance its an extreme, its trying to overcome something rather than accept and understand. However some distortions are such that perhaps the most balanced option would be to stop doing that distortion. Its ultimately up to the person and nobody else to decide.
