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.

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.

Hot to use this assessment. As you read each statement, circle 1, 2 or 3. A “1″ means the statement is SOMETIMES true. A “2″ means the statement is OFTEN true. A “3″ means the statement is ALWAYS true.

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.

“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.
