... do you change it to positive mental quality ...
If any of the Nīvaraṇa arises you can apply the antidote to it. Also see: Nīvarana,pahana Vagga and Nīvaraṇa
... or just watch it?
You can do this also. There is always a sensation associated with the hindrances. If you are angry you get a burning sensation. If you have sloth or torpor you feel heavy.
Someone angry for 'no reason', but actually there is a reason if one keeps the mindfulness.
This is some stimuli at the scene door which give an unpleasant sensation.
... By realizing this we are no longer angry.
These mental states are impermanent. When the cause, initial stimuli or / and the subsequent mental proliferation disappears then result (anger) disappears. Also see: Dependent Arising
Is this also a practice of mindfulness or analyzing?
This is a form of analysing the impermanence of feelings arising from this mental state. It can be taken as Dhamma vicaya which is mindfulness. Basically you look at the arising and passing of sensations pertaining to the hindrance.
Which one is the correct practice?
All he following you mentioned are correct:
- apply antidote
- being mindful of the impermanence or arising and passing of sensations (or phenomena what is felt) pertaining to the hindrance
- analyse the impermanence or arising and passing of sensations (or phenomena what is felt) pertaining to the hindrance (same as above)
