How do people learn to not let things bother them?

For some reason, hearing my neighbors bothers me a lot. Like if they yell or scream, or play music, even if I can only hear it a LITTLE bit, it still bugs the hell out of me.

Anyone know any tricks to let things stop bothering them?
 
Relax and think about whether it is really affecting your life to a great degree. Most times you will realize that it isn't.
 
hang out in a shanty town in a 3rd world country for a lil while.....you'll come back with a whole new perspective on what really matters.

QFT.

Harm no one, Help when I can.
Protect those that cannot protect themselves.
Ignore the slings and arrows of others and keep to the plan, whatever that may be.

These words help me let go of day to day BS.
 
Just ask yourself, "will hearing this matter to my future at all?" How will you care about this single event in a month? week? day? Probably not much.
 
I just one day realized that I dont have time to worry about that kind of thing. I complain all the time, but mostly I have perfected the art of stopping and saying "wtf, who cares?"
 
Some things you can change, some things you can't. Some battles are worth fighting, others aren't. True contentness is knowing the difference.
 
Purchasing noise cancelling headphones, or earplugs, is probably the easier route. Sometime I have the patience of a zen master, but I can't explain how to get there from here, and the route I took I'd wish upon no one. Perhaps unrelenting exposure to stimuli that bothers you to the point where you realize it is not within your grasp to change it, that getting riled up only hurts yourself and escalates the situation to no productive end, to the point where the things that once wore upon you now seem trivial and get mentally relegated to the big f deal section of your brain.
 
my sociology teacher always told us, if something is bugging yourself, just ask "is it really awful or terrible?" "is it life threatening?"

it actually works for myself.
