Your Guide To Ambidexterity

Ambidexterity is being left and right handed. Learn how to use both left and right hands.

Ambidexterity: Do you know what it means? It means being left and right handed. Being Ambidextrous has many benefits. You can be a lot better in sports, work, and even daily activities. Want to learn how to be left and right handed?

Facts

  • To be ambidextrous, you must learn to use both sides of your brain
  • Ambidextrous people are usually born that way, but you can learn to be ambidextrous too
  • People who are born ambidextrous have a hard time learning, but once they know how to learn, they become good at many things
  • Ambidexterity requires a lot of brain training on both sides of your brain.
  • Michelangelo was ambidextrous. He painted with both of his hands. When one hand got tired, he switched to his other hand
  • Albert Einstein was ambidextrous, maybe that was why he was so smart
  • Most of the letters on a normal keyboard are typed using your left hand

Steps

Practice makes perfect. Practice is the key

  1. Start by using your opposite hand more often. When doing things where you usually use your dominant hand, use your opposite hand instead
  2. Practice writing with your opposite hand. Know the proper writing position for each hand. If you don't know, search it up on Google
  3. Write at least one paragraph a day with your opposite hand, your writing should get better everyday
  4. Write more each week. If you do this, your neatness should greatly improve
  5. Play sports with your opposite hand. I will give you a few examples. When playing baseball, you should bat the opposite way. When playing basketball, shoot and dribble with your opposite hand. For football, throw with your opposite hand. For bowling, bowl with your opposite hand.
  6. When you eat food, put your spoon on your opposite hand and put your fork on your dominant hand
  7. Put your belt around your waist in the opposite direction, put your watch on your opposite hand
  8. Practice stirring cups of water with both hands simultaneously, bouncing two balls at the same time, throwing things at the same time, catching things at the same time, and writing with both hands at the same time.

Do you know of any more resources for ambidexterity? I can't even find classification for how I used my hands/limbs as a child, and now decades after being forced to use my right hand, I'm desperate to 'rehabilitate' the dexterity I had then. I know we all see things differently as children, but I remember my thought process being a LOT more fluid and responsive before I had to be limited to one hand. Funny thing, my kindergarten teacher told my parents it'd screw my head up and 'confuse' me if they let me retain ambidexterity so she had them make me use my right so I'd fit in and 'integrate' into school better. Now I'm thirty, cross-dominant (Heavy Right), and kind of dependent on input from voices in my head just to get by. Go figure.
