But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.
Interpretation
True health comes from trusting the body's natural ability to heal itself.
In this quote, Deepak Chopra emphasizes that maintaining lifelong good health involves allowing our bodies to function naturally and intuitively, rather than constantly forcing external solutions or interventions. He suggests that we should listen to our bodies, respect their innate processes, and create conditions that support our health, rather than trying to control it excessively.

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.

My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
