For me, I like to tie it in with mindfulness. As I see events or situations arise (lets say, someone steals from me), I apply understanding to the root and reason of the suffering and understanding that the suffering only occurs because of emotions placed upon the 'object' creating attachment to it. I then also recognize and understand the arising of the emotions, such as anger or regret, and understand that there is no sense in stressing over things that are past... And then I can easily let those emotions 'go'.

A lot of people worry about things outside of their control, and I think that is a major cause of stress and worry for many people in the modern world. I think also an understanding of how illogical it is to worry about things in which we have no control over, can relieve many people's stress and worries.
Makes sense to me, but is also a facet of understanding the Four Noble Truths, I think.
