The effects of mindfulness practice are cumulative over time from "summary" of The Mindful Way through Depression by J. Mark G. Williams,John D. Teasdale,Zindel V. Segal,Jon Kabat-Zinn

The benefits of mindfulness practice may not be immediately apparent. It's not like taking a pill where you can expect instant results. Instead, the effects of mindfulness practice build up gradually over time. It's a process that requires patience and persistence. When you start incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine, you may not notice any significant changes right away. You might even feel like nothing is happening. But if you stick with it, you'll start to see subtle shifts in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As you continue to practice mindfulness, you'll begin to develop a greater sense of self-awareness. You'll become more attuned to your thoughts and feelings, and you'll start to notice patterns that you may not have been aware of before. This heightened awareness can help you identify triggers for negative emotions and reactions, allowing you to respond more skillfully in challenging situations. Over time, mindfulness practice can also lead to changes in the structure and function of your brain. Research has shown that regular mindfulness meditation can increase activity in areas of the brain associated with attention, emotional regulation, and empathy. These changes can have a profound impact on your overall well-being and mental health. It's important to remember that mindfulness is a skill that takes time to cultivate. Just like any other skill, it requires practice and dedication. The more you engage in mindfulness practice, the more you'll benefit from its effects. So, even if you don't see immediate results, trust in the process and keep showing up for yourself each day.
