Tip of the Nose and Trust

 Most of us begin life with a turned up nose tip. Take a look at the babies and young children who you come in contact with. They are trusting of the world and the people in it and exhibit enthusiastic responses to life. Often, though, this trait changes during the teen years if the child was not allowed to question sources or authorities.

 

Turned Up Nose tip

"By nature, I am a trusting person with the people I love. When friends, family, even strangers excite my interest in something new, I tend to swallow it hook, line and sinker. My trusting nature has gotten me in a lot of trouble. I've been burned time and again,, but I'd rather have faith than surrender to self-double."

Enjoy your enthusiasm and consider taking time to do your research and check things out. A great vocation for you might be teaching, wedding planning, mentoring.

Turned Down Nose Tip

"I'm just as trusting as anyone else after I have had time to research the issue and have all the necessary facts. People call me skeptical but they miss the point. I'm careful. I don't want to get burned again. Doubt is my saving grace."

 Consider - you are an excellent person for the business world. You look for the bottom line and value time, energy and money. Be careful not to rain on other people's good ideas.

 

 

Lip Structure - Giving Style

The structure of your upper and lower lips have different functions. The upper lip relates to verbal style, verbal expression and how you actually form words. In many cases, your life began with a full upper lip and a desire to express how you felt about experiences.

The lower lip is the focus of this post. It conveys your giving style and how you express your generosity. Lower lip structures also relate to the physical expression with your total body.

 Thin Lower Lip - Giving Style - "I am REFLECTIVE."

"I don't feel comfortable expressing emotion with my total body, except in work, sports or exercise. My heart has been broken too many times. I don't want to be rejected or not appreciated, so I might avoid total commitment. If I choose to give something to someone, the gift is a result of much thought."

 Consider: Let your heart be the guide. Give the gift of yourself."

Full Lower Lip - Giving Style - "I an GENEROUS with my time, energy and money."

"I love experiencing life with my total involvement. And, without thinking, if I see a need, I will give  my time, energy, money, whatever. It is spontaneous and with no thought of repayment. Some people say I am generous to a fault." 

Consider: You don't have an inexhaustible supply of energy and money to give. Constantly ask yourself if you have the energy to do more. Replenish what you give. Put your oxygen mask on first.

 

In my other blog - www.optionstohealth.blogspot.com - I write about an Australian flower essence for caregivers and those who are exhausted with their generosity. It is called Alpine Mint Bush. Those with full lower lips receive great benefit of renewed energy from taking this flower essence. 

Iris size and Emotional Expression

 Most of us start life with large irises, the colored part of the eye. We absorbed and experienced life with awe and wonder and expressed emotions freely.

When prolonged stress occurs, the musculature of the eye contracts, eventually reducing the size of the iris. The result is a small beady eye where more of the sclera, or white of the eye, is present. 

Large Iris Size - 2/3 Iris

"I love expressing emotions! I seem to laugh more, cry more, get angrier and happier, sadder and more joyful than other people. I need tissues with me at all times. I AM what I feel."

Not everyone is able to express like you. Stay true to yourself while respecting that not everyone is comfortable with self-expression.

Small Iris Size - 2/3 Sclera 

 "I've learned that big emotions create big waves, so it is safe to stay under control. I feel emotion but don't feel comfortable expressing it. I am also uncomfortable with other people's expression of anger, fear, sadness and even joy and enthusiasm."

Practice expressing what you feel in words and/or actions. The result will be more positive communication.

 

Self-Confidence and Face Shape

 In the past, facial structures were often compared to animal structures. The self-confidence trait is perfect for demonstrating this example.

The long, narrow face shape can be compared to the deer who is cautious, has to size up a situation and learn where and when to be confident.

    "I've learned my self-confidence and feel assured once I am fully prepared. I experience self-doubt when approaching unfamiliar people and projects. It's important for me to take things step-by-step. Then, I can have confidence. Please don't push  me faster than I am willing to go." 

The broad-shield face shape is much like the lion who presents as having innate self-confidence, no fear and an ability to handle any situation.

    "Of course I can do it. I can handle just about any situation. I tend to face challenges head on and do what seems needed. I appreciate being direct and have a hard time understanding weakness."

 Need a volunteer for a project or committee? someone with a broad-shield face is likely to jump right in and fill the need They don't even need to know what the assignment is!
 

Just a reminder. There is no right or wrong facial structure! You are who you are. Face reading allows you to look at your innate nature and avoid trying to be someone who you are not. Embrace your gifts!

 

 

 

Cheekbones - A Sense of Adventure

 There are many ways to experience adventure. For some it is the physical pleasure of traveling, taking a new route home, moving furniture around or meeting new people. For others, adventure is the joy of a good book, new information and ideas and a chance to be alone with one's own thoughts.

To identify the cheekbone facial structure, draw an imaginary, vertical line along the outside of the eyes. Observe whether the cheekbones are on the outside or inside of the line. Cheekbones inside of the line represent MENTAL ADVENTURE and cheekbones on the outside of the line correspond to PHYSICAL ADVENTURE.

PROMINENT CHEEKBONES: "I am the physical adventurer."

"I love to travel, go to new places, meet new people, have new challenges. Sometimes, if I am feeling bored, I'll just rearrange furniture or try a new restaurant and I feel in tune again." 

 

BARELY OBSERVABLE CHEEKBONES: "I am the mental adventurer." 

"My sense of adventure takes place in my mind. I seek new ideas, new thoughts, new interests, new aspects of old ideas. I like to reflect and have mental experiences. I don't understand change-for-the-sake-of-change and I will resist it. Once my house or office is arranged to my liking, I keep it that way."
