What Your Heart Lines Reveal About You at Work

Your heart lines reveal your emotional style. Your dominant-hand heart line is your emotional style "at work" and your non-dominant hand heart line is your emotional style "at home." Today's article will focus on your emotional style at work. nnThe Hermit Heart Line nnHand analyst, Pamelah Tablak, calls the Earth -element heart line the "Hermit." This heart line begins beneath the pinky and travels across the hand to stop beneath the middle finger.nnIf you have a Hermit heart line, you like your personal freedom. You do well working on your own and/or being your own boss. You can't stand someone breathing down your neck or micro-managing your projects. Many owners of Hermit heart lines are entrepreneurs. Your favorite phrase is, "Not now. I'm busy." You ARE busy - busy working!nnYou also like to be the "master of your environment." You like to have your own working space and are keenly aware if someone has swiped a few stamps or moved your stapler! You also like projects completed in an organized manner - you understand the concept of "beginning, middle and end."nnSince the Hermit heart line is a straight line, rather than a curved line, you tend to keep your feelings close to the breast rather than openly displaying them in the moment. You may find that talking and feeling at the same time is rather challenging. You prefer to get some "cave time" - hermit that you are - so you can process your feelings on your own schedule. nnThe Romantic Idealist Heart LinennTablak calls the Air-element heart line the "Romantic Idealist." This heart line begins beneath the pinky and travels across the hand to stop beneath the pointer finger.nnIf you have a Romantic Idealist heart line, you like romance, long conversations and creating understanding. You seek first to understand before seeking to be understood. You like forward-thinking approaches to problems since you want to create an "ideal" future scenario.nnCommon professions for Romantic Idealists include: law, copywriting, coaching, writing, architecture, music composing, brainstorming and other fields that focus on conceptualizing future, ideal scenarios.nnYour challenges include over-analyzing ("analysis paralysis"), justifying, rationalizing and explaining as well as becoming too critical of yourself or others if things aren't "ideal." nnSince the Romantic Idealist heart line is a straight line like the Hermit heart line, rather than a curved line, you tend to talk and talk (... and talk!) about your feelings, feelings, feelings... rather than openly display them. How improper and messy! You want your emotional presentation to be ideal, so you could potentially spend a lot of time fantasizing about the ideal time and place to reveal your true feelings - positive or negative. The question is: Can you reveal what you are REALLY feeling right now, in the moment? n nThe Passionate Heart LinennTablak calls the Fire-element heart line the "Passionate." This heart line begins beneath the pinky and travels across the hand and upwards to stop at the base of the middle finger.nnIf you have a Passionate heart line, you tend to know what you want - and you want it NOW! The gift of this heart line is passion, vivaciousness, and charisma. You are here to teach other people to discover what they want by being clear about what you want. You are a lightning rod for CLEAR desire!nnIn the workplace, Passionates need a lot of variety, as they HATE to be bored. (Notice the word "hate" - very dramatic and very Passionate!) If you have a Passionate heart line, you need to be interacting with lots of different kinds of people and do well when you have an audience. Professions can include public speaking, sales, acting, information marketing, singing, dancing, public relations - basically anything that puts you front and center as "the star."nnYour challenges include denying your true needs, which can lead to inappropriate acting out and passive-aggressive tendencies or just total chaotic drama-queen drama-trauma. These types of episodes can occur when you think your not getting enough attention and can lead to situations where you get "negative" attention - such as for your myriad problems, phobias, addictions, and so forth. Remember, drama is for the stage! LOL! nnSince the Passionate heart line is a CURVED line, unlike the Hermit or Romantic Idealist heart line, the "curve" lends emotionality to your emotional expression. The more "curve" a line has, the more the heart and its feelings are involved. Firey, Passionate heart line owners have the least amount of delay between feeling a feeling and expressing it openly. Anger might show up as a red face and dishes flying where as happiness could result in a giant smile and teary eyes.n nThe Big Heart Heart LinennTablak calls the Water-element heart line the "Big Heart." This heart line begins beneath the pinky and travels across the hand and upwards to stop at the base of the pointer finger.nnIf you have a Big Heart heart line, you have a non-negotiable need for emotional connection. Non-negotiable means you need to have it - you can't bargain for it. You NEED to have emotional connection to "feel okay" and alright with the world. nnIn the workplace, Big Hearts do well working intimately with others, in such professions as networking, coaching, nursing, healing, hospice, counseling, and so forth. They dislike the feeling of disconnection and hence, may sometimes stay too long in a dead relationship simply to avoid the disconnection (which has already happened anyway).nnIf you are a Big Heart and you've noticed that you're feeling a little clingy and needy, the question to ask yourself is: What do I need right now? Having healthy "self-ish ness" doesn't come easily to Big Hearts, but without it, you could become a martyr - and that's not pretty, no matter how you slice it!nnThe Big Heart heart line is CURVED like the Passionate heart line, (the "curve" lends emotionality to your emotional expression) and you tend to easily show your hurts, joys, and pains.
