In practice
During a wellness seminar, one might share this quote to stress the importance of listening to one's body.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.

And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur.

When you respond to life, that's positive; when you react to life, that's negative.
If you think taking care of yourself is selfish, change your mind. If you don't, you're simply ducking your responsibilities.
The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.
