Letting it play in the background does not mean ignoring it, it just means no longer engaging in its games. Whatever ever state arises is fine, so there should be no resistance to what is, no worrying, no suppressing, no questioning, left alone is exactly what your mind and body wants to heal. Remember whatever feeling or thought arises is fine, just go about your day with them there, don't fall into the fix, question or suppress state but don't try to ignore or reject the feeling, the thought or feeling is fine and needs to rejection, it needs space to be as it is.
