10 years of practice but I don't feel I achieved much (lemmy.world)

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?

My humble opinion is that you did achieve a habit of being mindful which I wish I was more often. I tend to worry a lot and look at things in the wrong way due to lack of mindfulness. I could save myself lots of stress if I just practice 15 minutes a day.
