I usually skip right past Radical Acceptance and slip right into Avoidance. They are both ways to stop feeling immediate stress and anxiety, but the first one is obviously healthier than the other as it is an active choice that allows you to take charge of the situation and make a plan. I probably need to practice being more present and sitting with the discomfort rather than ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away on its own.
