Conducting health

The conductor of an orchestra is typically not as skilled at playing the violin as the 1st chair violinist.

The conductor is the expert at directing the performance of the orchestra as a whole. She knows when the violin should come in and fade out. She recognizes when an on beat quaver pattern from the clarinet compliments the strings. She experiences the coordinated efforts of all the systems and individuals together.

You are the conductor of your health. Instead of sections of strings and brass, you coordinate your nutrition and exercise. You choose when your emotional health gets brought into focus and when the needs of your community take the first chair in your mind.

By conducting your health in this way, you transform what would otherwise be a collection of notes on paper into a symphony. You turn your life’s timeline, your biography, into your masterpiece.
