Realize we have a lot more opportunities than we think to do this. Brushing your teeth, the hand with which you eat, throwing and playing catch, they all help develop our motor and finer motor skills needed in writing or painting or anything at all. Play every fun game you can think of in reverse, hand wise. Brush your hair differently. A year ago I could say I was ambidextrous because I could write with both hands. But I say the goal has been complete this year because that was when I started picking up the pencil and drawing mindlessly with the other hand, when I tossed on the “wrong” glove and played catch without realizing it, and began playing badminton alternating hands when I needed to without issue, and discovering strengths in both and refining their weak spots. The more we practice the better we become, but so long as we limit what we practice with the time it takes to learn becomes much longer. I’m cheering for all of you! :) 1 week ago

ρяιмяσѕє I've been practicing.

Lately (for about a week now) I have been trying to do as many things as possible with my left hand, including texting and writing with it. I think it’s working. :3 1 week ago

I write the alphabet with my left hand once a day. At least. I think this is a good start, right? 3 months ago

selfloserRight handed

I’m right handed and wish to practice the other hand! I’ve tried practicing by keeping a book, with everything written using my left hand ;) 4 months ago

SophieHalfway There

I’m convinced I should have been left handed but my parents and teachers forced a pen into my right hand while I was learning to write. I do everything left handed except write. When I bought my first guitar I played left handed until I finally got a tutor and was told to switch. So, I think learning to write with my left hand should be interesting. It’s more to see if I can actually do it than anything else. 5 months ago

quitejadedMore Comfortable

It is more comfortable these days to write with my left hand but the handwriting is still awful. Like that of a child (or a man who doesn’t care about the detail of his writing). I want my left hand to have the perky, feminine style of my right. 5 months ago

Karen DeFeliceNew goal

I’m a graphic design just developed carpal tunnel in my right hand. I was advised to try to do more with my left to take some of the work of my right hand. Plus I heard it makes you smarter ;) 8 months ago
