[Hand Analysis] Are You Sometimes Mean to Yourself?

On March 12, 2020 / Hand Analysis, Jayne Sanders

Today’s Marking – High Self-Expectations (very high!)

Where: See the photo…This marking shows up as little boxes or a grid, perhaps lop-sided, on the mound at the top of the palm just under the index (Jupiter) finger, on either hand or both.

What: High Expectations of Self means just that. Boy can you be hard on yourself! Believe me I know, that’s my handprint you’re looking at, and I have this on both hands. I expect a lot of myself and I’m still learning how to give myself a break. People with this marking are high-achievers, driven, prone to perfection…the attempt that is, as perfection does not exist so why go nuts trying?! Life has been a lot more joyful since I started working on reducing my drive and having more fun. And guess what…my business keeps growing too, along with my joy and fulfillment, isn’t that interesting. 🙂

Master Path: Learn that “good is good enough” so you don’t drive yourself crazy and/or burn out. Recognize (yourself and/or with help from a friend or partner who will gently call you on it) when you are pushing pushing pushing and in over-achiever mode.

Student Path: The opposite of Master Path above, beating yourself up, and, projecting your expectations for yourself onto others, when those expectations have nothing to do with them! Only you are meant for those expectations, but on the student path it’s hard to see that and hard to digest that we are being unrealistic and hard on others. Then we get disappointed when others don’t live up to our expectations for ourselves. Hello!

A FASCINATING TIP – Have you seen the documentary What The Bleep? Here’s what I remember about it…a quantum physicist conducted an experiment wherein he filled, let’s say 10, of the same glasses with the same kind of water, labeled them with different emotions, and had volunteers project each specific emotion onto it’s corresponding glass of water. After some time, all the water in the glasses labeled with negative emotions turned murky. He therefore proved that negative emotions change the molecular structure of water. Remember, you are 70% water! Stop being mean to yourself.
