Accept that a pattern exists as a current feature of your

Accept that a pattern exists as a current feature of your operation without demanding its immediate elimination, because the fight itself becomes fuel that strengthens the pattern.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Cognitive Dissonance Drives Information Avoidance (cognitive dissonance creates distress when holding contradictory beliefs - 'I have this pattern' vs 'I should not have this pattern'), Intentional suppression of thoughts paradoxically increases (suppression increases accessibility), and Experiential avoidance (attempting to alter the form, (experiential avoidance is transdiagnostic risk factor). The principle prescribes acceptance as prerequisite for change because resistance itself perpetuates the pattern. This is derived and highly actionable.
