Yes I think it sounds like it's too much of an abstract idea for you to grasp. I understand what you're saying, and Mindfulness is incredibly hard to describe.
In my mind, my thoughts are 'things' that come and go. So I could describe them as a cloud, or a train, or a car, whatever I wanted. It doesn't mean they ARE literally a cloud, but it's just a word I ascribe to my thoughts. Then once I start noticing them I can let them move through my head without me either pushing them away or observing them.
