Hand Analysis - Part III

I had my third and final session with the hand analyst tonight and man do I have plenty to incorporate and chew on for a while. In a nutshell, my biggest challenge in life is to make time for myself, to address my need and take care of myself instead of always spreading myself too thin and getting in to what she called my “I gotta…” cycle: I gotta (insert task here); I gotta (insert task here); etc., etc.

My inability to focus on myself even spills into the moments when someone (particularly my significant other) is telling me about actions I’ve take or things I have done that have in some way, shape or form upset them. In an attempt to reinforce this idea of not focusing on myself, I start blaming either them, outside factors or someone else. Yeah, this is kind of a pandemic for me and so now I’m on a mission to correct it. I realize it won’t happen overnight but maybe putting it out there publicly is a strong first step.

Another thing Roberta pointed out (and this is really freaky) is that the lack of curves in the lines of my hands shows a propensity towards coming from my head as opposed to my feelings. Spend any time with me and you will note how true this is. So, in conjunction with focusing on my needs and wants, I am going to try and be more in my feelings than in my logic. Easy, right?

I hope I have painted the experience in a positive light because I certainly feel every second I spent with her was worth it. And besides, it never hurts to become as self-aware as possible right?

See? I’m making progress already.
