Stop Procrastinating and Get Motivated

I used to believe I was the queen of procrastinators, ‘stop procrastinating’ I would say to myself. I have learned about procrastinating and that the things I put off are the things I least like to do!

What I do now, to stop myself from putting everything off until tomorrow, is to plan each day by writing myself a list of stuff to do.

Planning puts you in control of your time, and you will be less likely to daydream and waste time. You can even do a timetable for the whole week.

If you do not do anything, you never get anything done.

If there are some things left unfinished, put them on your timetable for the next week. Tick what you have completed, and when they are all done, your reward is a good feeling about yourself. You might find yourself amazed at how much you get done and just how much more time there is left to do the things you want to do. The key to stopping procrastinating and getting things done is deciding to give it a go.

Decide to spend just a few minutes doing the thing that you keep putting off. You feel when you get the job started. The next time you do a little more and maybe even finish the job.

Sounds very basic, doesn’t it? It can begin with just a few minutes a day. When a job is overwhelming, and you think it is going to take too long, simply decide to get a start on it. Then do it for only five minutes. Spreading your time out over a few weeks gets it done eventually.

Are you putting things off because it is not what you want to do?

I procrastinated about completing something I had put off for many years. Then I finally realised that it was something that I did not want to do. I changed my plan, looked at other options and found the answer to my problem. You too can learn from your situation and decide whether you are enjoying what you are doing or whether is it so dull that you never get around to it.

Sometimes it is good for us to do things we do not like doing. However, when it comes to completing projects that lead us to success, we need to look at the circumstances and see if there is another option. It is no use putting in wasted effort if you are not enthusiastic or excited about what you are doing.

Are you procrastinating because you do not have the right things around to make the job easier?

Do you not sort the bills and paperwork because you do not have a desk or a designated area? Alternatively, do you not fold away the washing because the closets and drawers are full?

Do you not write because you do not have a computer?

Make do with what you have.

I received my first computer (many years ago), as a gift from a friend. It was very basic, with not enough RAM for an internet connection, in fact, a little 250MB in total! However, for writing purposes, it worked well as a word processor. So you can imagine I procrastinated a fair amount because of its lack of connection. Eventually, I bought a new computer and that meant that there were no excuses left for me to procrastinate.

The point of that little story is that whatever it is that you need to make the job easier, do it. Find a desk, a filing cabinet, more space, whatever it takes to organise and remove your trouble areas to help you get on with it and stop procrastinating.

Are the things you put off just too dreary? Stop procrastinating tips:

Some tips to reduce the boredom of some jobs:

  • Try playing music or listening to the radio while you work.
  • If at home, watch television while you work and use commercial breaks for the tasks that are most difficult.
  • Call a friend on the phone while you work on jobs such as the dishes or folding washing.
  • See if you can get a family member to help do a job and set yourself a time limit. My children are willing to help if I say something like, ‘Let’s see how quickly we can do a ten-second tidy.’ We all start tidying and counting while we do it or use a stopwatch to time ourselves, and they have more fun doing it if I help.
  • Do the boring jobs first? Get them out of the way quickly so that you have more time to do the things you love.
  • Is it an important job? Does it have to be done, or can you leave it and put up with it?

Some things can be put off until another time. It does not matter if everything is not perfect, after all, it is only you that is going to complain, isn’t it?

Do you find yourself doing meaningless tasks around the house or at work and using them as an excuse for, not doing something else?

Are you looking for the dust to clean? If you want to stop procrastinating, maybe you are taking on too much unnecessary work. Does your home need to be impeccable before you allow yourself to do what you want to? Are you happily helping everyone else finish their tasks and going out of your way, just to be nice?

Do you stop and ask yourself first, ‘Do I want to do this?’ If the answer is no, then say no, you need to finish a major task of your own first. It is not easy to say no when you want everyone to think you are a superwoman/man. However, you know that when you do, you have taken control of your life, and that feels good!

Do you procrastinate because you are afraid to make the ‘wrong’ decision?

When deciding, and you feel stuck, you might put it off altogether because you fear making the ‘wrong’ decision. Don’t worry too much about it when this happens to you because most choices are reversible. However, if you keep in your mind that you have the option to change it later, you get over procrastinating.

Reading Palms and How It Can Help You

signs of success, money and luck signs, reading palms, travel lines, sari puhakka, palm reader in Brisbane, life line marks

Reading Palms (Your own palm) and how it can help you.

Palmistry undertaken as an art, to interpret the character, should be done so with an open mind and variable analysis. It is the art of analysing hands. It has been practised for centuries to examine your character, personality, motivations, desires, and how you see the world and live your life. Reading palms can guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your potential future.

If you are interested in reading palms for personal reasons or if you are a professional coach, a therapist, counsellor, or healer, hand analysis allows you to add additional means to your range of work. You can give your clients more insight and clarity for finding their way and attaining their maximum capacity to achieve their goals.

When reading palms, It is possible to see if a person is open-minded and easygoing.

if they have the drive, and leadership qualities required for their job; can they be trusted? My personal approach to palm readings uses the knowledge-based information gathered through the hand features as well as the lines on the palms.

It is important to remember that one sign alone cannot confirm an event or outcome. In fact, in most cases, not even several indicators confirm a future issue. The combination of elaborate explanations for the many markings on the palms depends on an individual’s life. For example, stress lines on a business person are not the same meaning as those found in an artist. Hence, we need to see other features on the hand to determine personality type and how they might handle stress in their situations.

Through a peek at someone’s hands, you can get a general idea about their constitution. For instance, if their hands are soft, refined or dainty, the same applies to their character. With these qualities, they prefer the use of their intellect or creativity before physical work. On the other hand, rough, coarse and rugged hands might lack sensitivity, but they show strength. A person who is happiest working with their hands.

Reading palms and fingers

The fingers are a tremendous part of reading palms. They can show how we express ourselves and how we have developed in the past. We all have distinctive looks and the same goes for our psychological makeup. Because we are unique, reading hands can become very involved and complicated. It is this personal disposition that reflects in our hands from birth.

People inherit many physical features and character traits from their parents, but we are all unique. The basic shape of the hand is especially an important part of reading the palms because it helps us determine the first and most fundamental character of the person.

The character from the shape of the hand.

One of the simplest ways to do this is by using the old astrological elements of fire, water, earth and air to compare four typical hand shapes. (You can read more about the astrological elements here.) It is likely however that your hand does not match one of these, but using your judgment, you should be able to come up with one that is close or a mix of another.

In some cases, the person’s hand shape corresponds to their real sun sign element. It obviously helps to know a little about the astrological elements. Once you have determined some character traits from the four categories, the lines can help to suggest possible outcomes and help support other findings.

What you can get from reading palms:

  • Discover how a mere handshake can tell you just whom you are dealing with in your life!
  • Learn how the hand as a whole depicts intuitiveness, sensitivity, practicality or thinking types.
  • The eleven areas of the palm illustrate what you focus on (love, work, dreams, instincts, nature, music etc).
  • Find out how easy it is to see negative traits from the setting of the fingers.
  • The particular length of the fingers depicts the most important character traits that they cannot hide!
  • Recognise a charmer who just might be a compulsive liar!
  • Know when you have come across a stubborn and controlling bully.
  • Is your potential lover going to match your libido?
  • Poor health warnings at a quick glimpse of the fingernails.
  • Career options that suit your hand shape.

Business Success Signs in Hand Analysis

business success signs

Recognise Business Success from the hands.

Business success signs, in general, depend on the individuals’ ability to focus, learn, lead and take action. Many hand aspects can show these abilities. Regarding reading hands, it’s essential to understand that some indicators can contradict others. However, the following aspects shown in this article help recognise the characteristics of a business-minded person.

The Thumb

The thumb has great significance in reading hands; you can glance at a person’s hand and quickly get a general idea of their energy, drive, and basic temperament. So the thumb is a crucial part of character awareness, especially when meeting someone for the first time. In most business or personal situations, people shake hands to introduce themselves. What a perfect opportunity to glance at the thumb! (Download the thumb reading ebook here).

As with most features, it is finding balance in proportion to itself, and its appearance on the hand is ideal—nothing too crude and nothing too small. A small thumb belongs to the daydreamer; a very low set thumb belongs to a worker’s hands; an extended thumb indicates strength of character. The thumb is an excellent aspect in attaining clues confirming other characteristics found on the hands.

Business Success Signs from the Thumb

A thumb, which opens to a wide angle, is mainly found on the low-set thumb and suggests a more open and giving nature. An angle that is 90 degrees is a hands-on worker. But if it is greater than 90 degrees, it denotes an overly flexible or reckless nature. A good angle is not too wide and not too narrow. The thumb tip should not be overly short but balanced compared to the second phalange. The whorl fingerprint is a good sign.

What to look for to see a businesslike personality:

  1. Looking at the fingers, especially the two middle fingers, they should have knotty joints, giving the appearance of swelling. The knotty fingers are a sign of shrewdness in financial matters (found in many successful business people).
  2. The phalanges between the fleshy parts of the finger joints should be even, revealing a well-balanced mind and personality.
  3. The phalanges on the thumb should also be even. If the tip of the thumb is noticeably shorter than the lower section, it shows a lack of willpower.
  4. The tips of the fingers are fairly thick and either round or squarish. The pointy-looking tips do not suit a businesslike mind.
  5. The ring finger should be a little longer than the index finger.
  6. The mount of Jupiter is well-developed.
  7. The hand shows general good health and firm mounts.
  8. The fingers are straight.
  9. There should be at least one ‘whorl’ fingerprint.
  10. The palm is square than narrow.

Business Success Signs and The Pinkie:

A long pinkie finger shows someone who can easily express themselves. These people can communicate well. One of their best attributes is social, influential, and very organised, with a good vocabulary and raw eloquence. It also means they are naturally good with money and do well in business, politics, science, education, and television or radio broadcasting. Writing, entertaining, and music often come naturally. Any subject requires being able to convey their knowledge or express themselves using words.

Thick Pinkie

A thick pinkie is rare. However, if it appears thicker than the rest of the fingers or abnormally large, it shows someone who may be rather talkative with a keen interest in business or money. These people are perfectionists and potentially very shrewd. It may also be a sign of a workaholic.

The lines that show business success signs

One central line is the rising line of Apollo (success line). A vertical line that begins low on the palm should clearly and distinctly rise into the mount of Apollo beneath the ring finger. It may also rise from the head line or the heart line. This line beneath the ring finger represents the arts, including fame and fortune. For this success line to show achievement, there must be a clear-cut and continuous line with a sharp definition. Two of these lines are very encouraging for a wealthy person. The hands of a business person often show the fate line (line of Saturn) and are almost always present. In many cases, there are two fate lines.

The head line should be clear and relatively free of flaws and breaks. A poorly formed head line might show a person who struggles to think straight. If there is a fork at the end of the line, it shows versatility. (Writer’s fork). The heart line, if curved, shows someone passionate about what they do and they put their emotion into their work. A straight heart line shows someone less likely to put their feelings into account when it comes to working.

Hand Analysis is Complete Palmistry

PALMISTRY IS HAND ANALYSIS

The use of the term hand analysis is often preferred over the word palmistry to try to steer away from the reputation of fortune tellers (which, by the way, still exists in most eastern worlds). I use the word palmistry because it is an art that completely studies the hands and palm lines.

Today I would like to talk a little about how palm readers, over the years, have struggled to get respect from the population in general. I was particularly concerned when I realised that many people making it even more challenging are other so-called ‘new age’ hand-reading experts.

There is also a new wave of hand analysts mocking the word “palmistry” as something that should no longer exist and is just fortune-telling. However, palmistry is hand analysis because it is the art of studying the hand and all its features, such as the lines. 

I am going to make this point by taking some excerpts from timeworn palmistry books that explicitly use the art for hand analysis, not fortune telling, whether it concerns the quality of the lines on the palms or the shape of the hand and fingers.

Many old books describe how to tell character from the hands and how to use that information to better your life.

Here is one from the original (pre-1960s) “Complete Guide to Palmistry – The Standard Work”:

The human hand has been described as the creator’s masterpiece of a mechanism. It’s a wonderful adaptation to the requirements of life. Few realise that the hand is a direct servant of the brain. Its markings reveal the workings of the brain and the general characteristics and physical ailments. It cannot be denied that there is much opposition to the practice of Palmistry based on ignorance and bigotry.

In this examination, it is necessary to note both hands. The first point to be noted is the texture and consistency of the skin; this will be best ascertained by feeling the back of the hand and noting its softness or otherwise.


The appearance of the hand as a whole will show whether it is evenly balanced or is heavier or lighter in some parts than in others.

guide to palmistry

Below is another excerpt about hand analysis from the famous “Cheiro”.

He uses the term palmistry in studying the character from the hands.

“Palmistry for all” by Cheiro – PUBLISHED IN 1916

There is no country in the world where the “study of character” is more indulged in than In the USA. During my many visits there, I could not help remarking how even the “hardest headed” businessmen used any form of this study they could get hold of to help them in their business dealings with other men and endeavouring to ascertain the character of their clerks and employees.

In looking over the records of my career, I find that in the course of my visits to America. I gave private lessons to the heads of two hundred and seventy business establishments in New York. One hundred thirty-five in Boston, and three hundred and forty-two in Chicago.

Study of the character

All these men were large employers of labour. What they principally wanted was to have some help beyond that of their judgment. In dealing with those, they came in contact within the regular course of their business careers. In no other country did I find the same interest in studying character from a practical standpoint.

This is why I am writing a special Preface for this Edition. Believing as I do, my American readers will appreciate the added information. I may be able to give regarding the obtaining by glancing at a hand. A quick grasp of the leading characteristics of the persons they are thrown into contact with. Or, for whatever reason, they choose to use this study.

cheiro book

He explains all aspects of the hand and how they relate to the character:

Venus = Love, sensuality, and passion.

Mars = Vitality, courage, fighting, etc.

Mercury = Mentality, commerce, science.

Moon = Imagination, romance, changeability.

Sun = Brilliance, fruitfulness, success.

Jupiter = Ambition, power, domination.

Saturn = Reserve, melancholy, seriousness.

Missing Lines on the Palm Meaning

missing lines, palmistry lines

MISSING MAJOR AND MINOR LINES ON THE PALM

Most palms have the major lines: a heart line, a head line and a lifeline. (See photo below). I have chosen only these three to be classified as major lines. However, some hand readers also like to refer to Saturn (vertical line to the middle finger) and Apollo lines (vertical line to the ring finger) as major ones. For most practising palmists, missing lines on the palm might confuse them. Not every hand has these major lines exactly. For example, you might have the Simian line, where there is only one horizontal line across the hand instead of two.

Often, when the Simian line is present, other lines, such as minor ones, tend not to show. If your life line is missing on the palm, it shows that your energy runs differently. Maybe you have a Simian line, or one of your other lines is prominent.

palm lines, palmistry lines

Changing lines.

The minor lines subtly change over time; therefore, what is evident in your hands now does not imply a fixed quality or situation. If you are missing lines on the palm, they may just be going through change. The major lines can also change in appearance. Marks and breaks can appear, and sometimes the marks or breaks ‘get healed’.

When using the lines for prediction, the information gathered is from the past events that have led the person to be where they are now. Any lines or markings that represent the future are just an assumption, whether negative or positive. The reason is that our thoughts and desires change, new lines can form, and old ones can fade.

Minor lines.

On some hands, the minor lines are not present, and it depends on the skin’s texture. Tough skin rarely gets any fine lines on it. The lines that are most likely to change quickly are the minor lines. They can even disappear altogether, so don’t worry if you don’t have every line ‘as per the book’.

If you are reading palms to try to tell the future, remember that anyone can control their destiny. These lines can and do change. Palmistry can be used to determine some consequences or guidance for our future. Accordingly, if a line shows a particular attribute, it is important to look for other indications for confirmation, as one feature can offset another.

For example, a line that shows success for a person may indicate this as a likely conclusion. However, if other signs are against it, such as a lack of willpower, attaining that success may be difficult (but not impossible). However, finding adverse signs should not be seen as negative but instead as an incentive for making positive changes for better future outcomes.

Missing lines on the palm, including Saturn or Fate line).

The Saturn line (fate line), which travels from the base of the palm towards the middle finger, is not usually present in young children and not even in some adults. Unestablished career goals often lead to a missing fate line. However, what if you are an adult with a job? This line, in general, indicates the success of a career, whether they are settled or varying and changeable. It is not often absent in adults, but it does not mean anything negative when this happens.

During my career, I have met some businesspeople whose hands the line was absent. They all were happy to say that they were ‘self-made’ men and that no fate would decide the course of their careers.

Something to think about: Imagine the line as a path; if it is in front of you, you will probably walk on it. But if you are in a place with no path, you can still move towards where you want to go; you have to make your own path.

Saturn lines (Fate lines)

Missing Apollo Line (success line, sun line)

The Apollo line is one of the more common missing lines on the palm. When the Apollo line is missing, it shows dissatisfaction with life or career choices. Success is still possible. However, the person might not be happy with what they have achieved. So, if your Apollo line is missing, look at what you are doing and if it aligns with your passion. The success line can form in your palm when you begin to act on your dreams. Some people believe that the success line forms when a person is happy to be by themself, engrossed in their work, for example.

MISSING HEART LINE

The missing heart line suggests a logical and emotionally detached nature. In all matters, these people are objective, rational and almost ‘mechanical’ regarding their emotions. Relationships might be difficult to sustain unless they can tap into those feelings without overthinking them. On the dominant hand, with strong Jupiter and thumb, they can be aggressive, judgemental and bad-tempered. A good heart line on the non-dominant hand helps offset some cold characteristics.

MISSING HEAD LINE

Some rare hands have no head line, yet a normal heart line exists. This feature suggests that decisions are based on emotional rather than logical views. The missing head line depicts a passionate character with strong opinions. However, they might too easily jump to conclusions because they lack rational thought.

Summary: Creating your journey in life.

So, when you think about it, the missing lines are just an indicator of a free spirit; they do what they want and create their path without restrictions. There is clear support for scientific research that the hands are connected to the activity of the brain, reflecting the character and well-being of the person. Therefore, the fewer lines there are, the fewer things affect the individual emotionally or mentally through thoughts and actions.
