become ambidextrous

So I’d like to be able to use both equally well.

th this is looking a bit impossible. i mean i havent really been trying that much but still when im bored n i swap hands its just the funniest thing ever. my ahnds all shaky and dropping the pen. i seriously need to sort that out =)

I have just left school and after the exams I have a very long summer with surprisingly quite a lot to do! I am usually left handed – so I am already quite rare in my handedness. I would like to become ambidextrous because if I ever broke my arm (I’m quite accident prone) it would be great!!

I am also studying graphic design, and I am fascinated with type. I think that at my interview it would be really interesting to say that I taught myself how to be ambidextrous!!

I have bought a exercise book and everyday I will use a page trying my abc’s. I am going to do this because its a good chat up line!

I’ve been practicing writing with my left hand on and off for three years. I can do it, but my handwriting is a bit shaky, so I need more practice. I haven’t really thought about doing other things with my left hand (i.e. throwing a ball, using utensils), although I should to be truly ambidextrous.

I have been trying off-and-on for about two years now, and my handwriting is getting better, although I shudder to think what anybody else would think were they to try and read my sociology notes!

Well, my penmanship was awful, so my chemistry teacher told me I was a suppressed leftie. So, I dug out a handwriting book and started practising with my left hand. Turns out, when I was a kid, I could write equally well with both hands, but I practised more with the right hand. Now my leftie-writing is similar to that of my right hand when I was aged 7.

I’ve been practising a little this week with this goal. Writing up some notes with my left hand. Looking back through the week, there doesn’t seem to be any real change. My handwriting is as awful as it was when I started, but I’ve only been working on this for a week, so I’m not too bothered.

I have noticed, however, that the pen feels a lot less uncomfortable in my left hand as it did at the start of the week. So that’s good. I also want to start using the computer mouse with my left hand, and brushing my teeth with my left. I figured doing tasks other than writing would help me get used to using my non dominant hand.

Anyway, I know this task is gonna take a while, because of the practise needed for it. Hopefully consistent practise will show some positive results.

I really want to be able to do things equally well with both hands, although mostly I just want to be able to write with both, and I finally made a start on this goal today after having it on my list for two months. (There’s a reason stop procrastinating is my main goal).

Anyway, I decided to practise by going through a book of Uni notes from last semester. I left a lot of blank pages in odd places, so I started on the earliest blank page and copied down whatever happened to be on the page next to it. This way I get to practise and refresh my memory about all the stuff I did last semester at the same time.

Holding the pen in my left hand felt very awkward. Both of the pages I copied look like a complete mess, but it’s not like I was expecting miracles on my first try. Hopefully I can keep practising and start seeing some improvement as the weeks go by.

i am left handed and i use both hands equally(doing one-handed jobs) to complete everyday tasks. i want to learn how to use my right hand to write

I’m coloring with crayons every night using my left hand and it’s hard, but it’s fun to go back to the joys of childhood, and I’m learning pretty fast. :)

I’m also using the mouse with my left hand.

I’m going to start brushing my teeth with my left hand tonight.

Update:

The first time I tried coloring with my left hand, my grip was weak, I couldn’t put much pressure on the crayon, my control wasn’t that good, and my hand got tired pretty fast. I’ve been coloring for ~5 days now and my grip is pretty good, my control/pressure is much better, and my hand doesn’t get tired as fast.

The other night I grabbed my toothbrush with my left hand and started brushing without even realizing it!
