There's that (supposedly good) feeling we get when we first acquire some new product or unbox a package we just received.
But fairly soon, most of those acquisitions don't do much for our happiness for the rest of their existence.
The mind seems to look for change, fixating on either some improvement or worsening, and reacts emotionally.
Mindfulness is noticing any old immediate experience which for the most part is just nice. Life in its entirely, not just temporary stories, ups and downs.
