1. Relieve pain at the back of the head by pressing with your fingers on the acupressure points along the base of the skull where tension is often stored. Start with the center of your neck and work outward to finish behind your ears.

2. Know your body clock. We all have different natural phases of high and low energy. If you recognize these and do high-energy and low-energy tasks at the appropriate times, you will make the most of your day, both creatively and practically.

3. Remember. there are no mistakes, only opportunities for learning, growth and change.

One of the highest compliments an individual can receive is to be called a person of character — a class act! Thomas Leonard’s Class Act 100 assessment is designed to help you understand where you are along this path and to give you ideas for areas worth developing. While there are 100 points in total, I will post one section of the assessment: 10 statements under a specific category.

1. Visualize a golden thread between the top of your head and the heavens. Think of it tightening and lifting you up, making your spine straight, your shoulders lower and your rib-cage expand freely. Conjure this image whenever you feel yourself slouching.

2. Move slowly. We often reveal our anxiety in fast, jerky movements. Slowing down can help calm our nerves. Remember, life is not a race. Some of the most profound experiences unfold slowly.

3. Have a tiny job day. Do all the niggling little chores around the house or at work that are pricking your conscience on a daily basis. Knocking off a half dozen or so little jobs on the same day is a certain way to nurture good feelings towards youself.

“He listens well who takes notes.” — Dante Alighieri

“Language exerts hidden power, like a moon on the tides.” — Rita Mae Brown

“High thoughts must have high language.” – Aristophanes

“Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us; but simplicity and straight forwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superiors, no finer. Be what you say; and, within the rules of prudence, say what you are.” — Alford

“In the study of one’s personal language and self talk it can be observed that what one thinks and talks about to himself tends to become the deciding influences n his life. For what the mind attends to, the mind considers.” — Sidney Madwed

“The individual’s whole experience is built upon the plan of his language.” — Henri Delacroix

“What we say is important for in most cases the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” — Jim Beggs

“Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he.” – Publilius Syrus

1. Breathe through your feet to help you feel more grounded in times of stress. This exercise can be done whenever your feet on the ground. As you inhale, imagine you are drawing in air through the soles of your feet, up through your legs and into your torso. As you exhale, imagine the reverse.

2. A medley of leaves. Visualize your hands cupped and holding autumn leaves of various hues. The leaves symbolize the mixed feelings you have for a friend, colleague or member of your family, or a current situation you are facing. Imagine that a gust of wind blows all of the leaves out of your hands, scattering them at your feet. With the contradictions gone, you are now free to make a fresh start.

3. Avoid correcting people. Mentally we often spend energy correcting other people’s appearance, speech, opinions, enthusiasms — everything. It’s as if they were a text and we are an editor. Don’t do this. Correction is unreal and pointless, as well as being a potential source of tension.
