More Dynamism in Handwriting

Further to my last three blogs on Dynamism, here are a few more for you to add to your list to see if they already flourish within your script.

High goals: The height of stand-alone t-bars in your writing reflects the height of your goals. If your stand-alone t-bars are mid-point on your t-stems, you are ‘broadcasting’ that you set practical, achievable goals and that you do what you set out to do. If your stand-alone t-bars are lower than the mid-point in your t-stem, you are saying you underestimate the height of your goals, and keep your goals somewhat low to make sure you don’t disappoint yourself or others in what you achieve. If you wish to enhance the level of your goals, you might like to see how you feel by placing some of your t-bars in the upper portion of your t-stems. Flying t-bars indicate you set good long-range visionary goals: Make sure that all of your t-bars don’t fly off the tops of your t-stems, for this indicates ‘unrealistic’ goals.

Good follow-through: Take a look at your lower loops on your y’s and g’s. Do your loops return to the baseline of your writing? If the answer is yes, this means you are good at following through on your goals. If your loops cut off before the baseline of your writing, this means you’ll tend to postpone looking at situations, or cut your feelings off from dealing with certain situations until you are absolutely ready to do so. If the final stroke of your ‘y’ and ‘g’ loops shoots upward higher than the top of the letter, this indicates ambition, as indicated in last week’s dynamic qualities.

Loner strokes: Are some of the downstrokes in your y’s and g’s stick-like? These are termed ‘loner strokes’ and indicate you do your best work independently. They also suggest leadership and management capabilities within you; in addition, they suggest you are certainly not a follower!

Analytical ability: Notice your m’s and n’s: Are there v-wedges at the base of the letters? If there are, this indicates your good analytical abilities: You’re not one who accepts existing information, but someone who wants to know ‘why’.

Dynamism in Handwriting Continued

Further to my last two blogs on Dynamism, here are a few more for you to investigate in your own writing. All you need to do if you wish to adopt these qualities into your personality is to incorporate them into your writing! When it becomes natural for you to form your letters using the altered stroke, you have incorporated it into your personality!

Tenacity: Do you have star-shaped t-bars or small hooks at the end of your ‘g’ and ‘y’ downstrokes? If the answer is yes, you are someone who never, ever gives up until every possibility has been explored. You are also someone who, once you achieve, holds on to what was achieved.

Aggressiveness: Do you have v-wedges in some of your y’s and g’s? This indicates your aggressive forward drive to go after what you want. If every one of your y’s and g’s has this v-wedge, you are extremely aggressive! If you would like to cultivate a little aggressive drive in your personality, try forming one or two of your y’s and g’s with a v-wedge within a page of your writing and see how you feel.

Ambition: Do some of the final strokes of your words or letters ‘shoot’ high in the air? If so, you are someone who has a quest to do well: Your ambition will ensure that you do very well no matter what happens!

Passion: How heavy is your pen pressure? Can you feel corrugations on the reverse side of your page of paper? If there are clear corrugations where you have written on the back of your sheet, this indicates your passion (either you give 100% or you give 0%—not 50%), your vitality and your energy. Make sure that you have a good, positive outlet for the great depth of your feelings, either in a creative activity or a physical activity so that your feelings don’t build up inside you.
