Did you know that your handwriting will change at least two or three times a day depending on your mood? It’s usually your slant that changes, and it’s the slant that indicates your mood of the moment.
If the slant of your printing or writing is predominantly vertical, it means you’re projecting objectivity, poise, and outward coolness under pressure. For this slant, picture yourself standing straight, similar to the posture of a soldier. If your slant is vertical, you’ll usually consider situations from a logical, practical standpoint. When you need to appeal to someone with a vertical slant, make sure you’re the voice of reason: Give the person logical points to consider and that person will be on your side.
The more forward your slant, the more your emotions will emerge. If your writing has a gentle forward slant, you’re likely to appear slightly warmer, more friendly and empathetic. While you may not feel ‘warmer’, it will be a little easier for you to show how you feel. You’re likely to be quite pleasant with other without being effusive. You’d also be more inclined to tolerate someone who was a long-winded conversationalist to be polite.
Should your slant tip over slightly more, you’re the type of person who appears extremely empathetic to others; you’d be a natural counselor and others would feel they have an instant rapport with you. There are times when you’ll organize your work with your emotions rather than logically: You’d rather make sure you go out to find your friend’s birthday present than take care of a towering laundry basket.
If your slant is far forward, adjectives such as ‘restless’ and ‘impetuous’ may apply to you. Jumping head-first into activities, you may tend to find yourself exhausted mid-day. You’d rather align yourself with short-term goals and achieve more immediate results. At times you may push ahead with a relationship or a new association without stopping to consider the approach that would work best, even with your heart in the right place. The key for you in certain scenarios would be to pause for just a moment, take a breath and slow down.
As I stated at the outset, the slant of handwriting is analogous to body language. Think of a person leaning backward as he stands at a party talking with you. What is this saying about him? This is the type of person who, no matter how outgoing they appear, will hold you at arm’s length until he or she has time to assess the situation before allowing you to advance too quickly into your world. If you’re seeking closeness with a person who writes with a left slant, let it be on their terms and in their timing! If someone upsets or betrays someone with a left slant, that individual will more than likely have a long, long memory.
Should you meet someone with multiple slants within a sentence or even a word, be aware that you are dealing with someone whose mood changes readily. This type of person can be quite versatile and lively, although the ‘wear’ on their emotional system from pulling back and then jumping forward can make their emotional control a little erratic.

Handwriting: Entertainment at Events
Parties and Corporate Events are wonderful opportunities to get to know co-workers, friends and family on a deeper level. The wise event-holder or party-giver knows, however, that during the talking, eating and drinking the guests will be looking for something fun to do and to discuss.
Individual Handwriting Analyses for your guests is definitely your best Entertainment choice. It’s a great way to generate new conversation, especially for those who come to a corporate event and don’t feel totally comfortable with socializing beyond ‘talking shop’. Elaine makes personal notes on each Analysis so that everyone can share and discuss their results—this makes Handwriting an excellent ice-breaking activity.
The fun of Handwriting Analysis is the self-improvement aspect, where people learn the keys to improving existing strengths through slightly modifying their handwriting (a process called Graphotherapy). As mentioned in last week’s Blog, just by raising the height of some of your stand-alone t-bars to above the mid-point in the t-stem, you can enhance your goals!
Elaine’s “Power of the Pen” talk is also a great hit at both corporate events and private functions. Guests learn how to get to know ‘secrets’ about themselves and others through knowing what the strokes of handwriting mean. This enhances their communication abilities with their clients, their co-workers, their friends and their family. “The Power of the Pen” is guaranteed to have everyone laughing.
Here are some tips: Do you want to enhance your initiative? Try consciously making a break-away stroke in the centre portion of your ‘h’ or ‘k’. How about raising your enthusiasm? See how you feel by making your stand-alone t-bars longer than necessary to cross the t-stem. Try strengthening your willpower by making sure all your t-bars are firm.

Handwriting: The Secret Behind the Secret
Many of you in blogger land have heard of The Secret (The Law of Attraction), whether you’ve seen the movie or read the book. I believe one of the real ‘secrets behind the secret’ is at your very fingertips: Your Handwriting! Just as your strokes of writing are a reflection of the impulses the brain is sending down to your hand, if you consciously alter your handwriting, then those same impulses go back up to the brain and change the brain. It’s not a one-way street. It’s not only the impulses coming down to your hand; it is when your hand changes what it does to the strokes that sends the impulses of that change up to your brain. When you think about it, that’s got to be exciting to you!
Changing your handwriting can be pivotal for you to change your life. There’s even a name for this process: Graphotherapy. What a revolutionary idea that not only can the traits connected to the strokes of your writing can come from your brain to your hand, but when you consciously choose to make a different stroke, that impulse goes back to your brain and changes your brain chemistry, thus changing what you think about yourself!
Here’s one exercise you can try: Check the height of your t-bars on your t-stems. T-bars represent willpower: The height of a stand-alone t-bar can indicate the height of your goals. If your stand-alone t-bar is crossed in the lower portion of your t-stems, this suggests you can underestimate your goals to make sure you don’t disappoint yourself or others. Try placing some of your t-bars higher on your t-stems consciously and see how you feel. When you consciously place your t-bars higher on your stem, you’ll begin to perceive some subtle shifts in your ability to ‘shoot higher’ for your goals.
