Learn to be ambidextrous

I just got 22.844 seconds with my left hand on this game! It was the first try i had in a while. Pretty good, i wonder if i could beat it?

By accident a while ago, when i read about writing in mirror image with both hands simultaneously. I tried, and could do it, no worries. This made me happy. I have wanted to be ambidextrous for a long time. And now i am actively working towards it!

I believe that most everyone can use either hand, if they practice with both hands. Unless a person is particuly controlled by one side of their brain, they should be able to do it. Most people will have a strong side, depending on what side of their brain is more active. But really, it’s just what you are used to!

I remember once when i was drawing a picture, i couldn’t remember which hand i was supposed to use. My grandmother saw me switching hands and said “Oh no! You use your right hand dear” (or something else grandmothery to that effect). I must have been about 4 at the time, there is a photo of me drawing that picture. I’m using my right hand in the photo. And i have ever since.

So i have been practising the mirror-image thing a bit lately, and it’s great. My hand writing on the left side leaves a bit to be desired, but, will get better with time. I have always thought (I think i am correct, but do correct me if i am wrong) that the creative side, or right side of your brain controls the left hand side of your body, and i have often noticed that left-handed people are creative (in my experience). So i thought, why not try to draw with my left hand? I’m not much of a drawer as it is, and so i thought drawing with my left hand might help with my creativity or something.. anyway, i did sit down, and drew a profile of Toby. And i like it! This is quite something, i don’t draw often, and half the time when i do i don’t like the drawings.

Anyway, enough rambling.. i will post my progress here, with images!
