Understand that if you choose to give your attention to such things, you are wasting your attention that could be given to more worthwhile things. Furthermore you may even attract more of what you don't want.

Next time you encounter a small little negative matter of no real consequence, simply imagine that you have an "Ignore" button. Click on it and let the matter be moved to your "Ignore" list. It is removed from your reality. You have conserved some thought energy and you can use it for your positive intentions.
Thank you for posting this. I like the way you've worded this as it has really caught my attention and helped me very much.
