Mindfulness Didn't Last Longer

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

Maybe 'fixed' just means we have a different perspective on emotion and thoughts. Which could change everything.

It could (change everything).
But one of the main reasons why people lapse in practice is that they start reaping the benefits of mindfulness and then reason that they've nailed it, whatever 'it' is, and that they don't need to meditate any longer.
Mindfulness is never fixed. It's not a state we attain and then always remain in.
Like everything else in the universe, it's always changing and we continue to practice in order to meet whatever arises with mindfulness.
Cheers,
