Acceptance is also a part of mindfulness training. If we reject certain feelings or losses over which we have no control, we easily are led into illusion, confusion, reaction and even alcohol and drug addiction. If we learn to accept feelings and events over which we have no control, then we can begin more accurately to determine what we do have control over. This usually involves our own thoughts and actions. Staying quiet and observant enough to sort out what is manageable and what is unmanageable is fundamental to learning to make responsible choices for ourselves.
