Yep: being able to tell the difference between feeling, perception and will is essential to my life.

And acceptance: that is crucial as well. This is the fact: "I feel bad. OK, now what was I about to do with my classes today?" (This is a very simplified figure obviously).

Al lot of both really. Also, realising that you are generally amplifying most situations through a self destructive filter and trying as much as possible to be selfless and calm in most situations. This all helps.
