(This is the first in a series of articles about traits that limit creativity and self-expression, how they show up in handwriting, and what to do if you have them.)

You are a creative being. You express yourself constantly. Because every stroke in your handwriting is a physical expression of an aspect of your personality, your handwriting reveals dozens of traits including many that limit your success and happiness.  The good news is that some of your worst traits are also your best traits!  Every trait has a positive and a negative characteristic.  Within you is everything you need to turn these so-called negative traits around and re-create yourself in your highest image.

A trait that often creates havoc is an overactive imagination.  In handwriting, extremely large loops indicate a magnified imagination. The larger the loop, the greater the imagination. 
A person with large loops in the lower zone (y, g) will overreact to situations, blow things out of proportion, embellish stories beyond simple facts, and have an extreme need for variety to ward off boredom.  A talkative person may be prone to gossip.  A person may trust too much and become gullible. 
A person with large loops in the upper zone (d, t, l, h,k) will be open to so many ideas that anything goes.  They will try whatever grabs their interest.  Their ideas may not be based in reality.  They can offend others who aren't as experimental or open-minded.

If you have large loops, don't change them.  Notice when your imagination is running away with you and stop before you go too far. The upside to having an active imagination is that you can be a wonderful storyteller.  You will be constantly expanding your horizons.  Being able to imagine and conceive a broader range of ideas will give you an edge in achieving your goals.  Remember...
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." --Albert Einstein
