Mindfulness is about having an active brain. It's about training your brain to be active about the things that matter now, not the things that mattered yesterday or the things that matter in the future. A constantly thinking brain isn't necessarily an active one, which is what the meme attempts to point out in a satirical way. Mindfulness meditation attempts to teach the brain to curb aimless, vapid thoughts in favor of one's that deal with the here and now.

It's hard to define the feeling of coming down from a good meditation. It's like the world is clearer and more vibrant, and you feel refreshed in a similiar way to having a genuinely restful sleep. More than anything, though, it's good for anxiety. Taking a moment to put your worries into perspective does a number on those worries taking over your day-to-day.
