Thoughts of the Day

In compliance with current WHO and CDC recommendations to minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus, I am temporarily suspending in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. However, phone and Skype consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

Every now and then I like (and need) to take a few moments and remind myself about what is really important to me, in my life. If you follow me on my Calminsense Hypnotherapy Facebook page you may have seen some of these quotes before on this page, or will in the future. Many of these Quotes of the Day are beautiful examples and illustrations of the work I do as a hypnotherapist, so I will probably draw on them in future essays.

 

• “Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.” – Bernard Meltzer

• “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” – A.A. Milne

• “Write because you have something to say.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

• “We don’t meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason.” – Kathryn Perez

• “When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

• “Don't be so focused on Someday that you miss the opportunities of Today.” – Bruce Van Horn

• “I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing.” – Martha Stewart

• “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” – Mark Twain

Handwriting Analysis: Doodles

(This blog was originally posted on January 6, 2015)

I have explained the role of handwriting analysis in my hypnotherapy practice and identified some specific traits I look at in a person’s handwriting in three of my previous blogs (Handwriting Analysis for Hypnotherapy; And Your Handwriting Says; And Your Handwriting Says, Part 2). Like handwriting, the doodles we draw in the margins of a page or around letters or words also provides insight into our subconscious mind. For example, they can reveal if the writer isn’t being truthful to him- or herself. They can also indicate if the person is stuck in an emotion or struggling with a problem. Following are some common doodles and what they suggest about the writer’s personality.

• Happy face: The person is literally a happy person.

• Doodle is at a right slant: the person needs to express his or her emotions.

• Bunches of flowers: Symbolizes desire for growth; the person has a feminine side.

• Geometric shapes (boxes, rectangles): The person is able to see all sides of an issue.

• Triangles: This person can also see all sides of an issue; tends to be rational and wants things to come to a head.

• Symmetric shapes: indicates that the person tends to be law-abiding, conformist.

• Angular shapes: indicates that the person is less open to others.

• Ladders: motivation, drive.

• Arrow through a heart: Drive/ambition for love.

• Tic-tac-toe squares or hash lines: The person feels restricted by other people in his or her life.

Doodles are universal: in other words, no matter what language you speak/write, it is common and natural to see these scribbles or drawings somewhere on the page. Sometimes I specifically ask clients to “draw” how they feel or what they think about something if they cannot express their thoughts or emotions in written words. I might then ask the person to describe how he or she feels about the squiggles or objects just drawn.
