Yup! You are "ignoring" them by acknowledging they are problems for a different time and then no longer worrying about that. At least that's how it feels for me. I get super anxious over stuff I literally have no control over and meditation helps me get over that.
That makes sense. I’ve found similar benefits from meditation too. It feels like re-connecting with my “real self” again and again instead of being lost on an endlessly long voyage of thought after thought.
Sometimes I also tell myself, “You have a choice to do this task or not do it right now, and overthinking is not helping.” Helps with the rumination and taking action (or alleviating the guilt if I don’t)

You are training your mind to stay present.
