I have been practicing mindfulness for more than a decade. In university I used it to help me cope with the pressure that I put on myself and since then I continued with variable degrees of rigour.

In my meditation timer app I logged more than 1000 hours of meditation. I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts and reading books on the topic. I'm not regretting any of that. I enjoy the practice for its own sake, but I'm wondering if I should get more serious about it.

Is anyone else in a similar situation? What are your thoughts?

Sure. You way advanced of me. I don't even think in terms of meditating I think in a kind of reverse yoda that Im attempting to meditate. Mostly for me its deep breathing and focusing on that although sometimes I move my limbs and stretch and focus on that. I mostly do it when I otherwise don't have something to do. waiting rooms. metro. bus. etc. Do I get anything out of it. I don't know. A few times I think maybe I was. time sorta distorte where it went by real fast but at the same time I was aware of it. Not sure how to explain it. Sorta like when you are doing a repetitive or common tax and kinda lose time except you did not really lose the time. Ultimately im not sure but I think its a worthwhile way to be with yourself.
