how to teach yourself to use your left hand?

Question

i write with my RIGHT hand and draw with it as well.. something with me left depending on what kind of look im after.. how can i learn write with my Left hand and why do most people only use one hand?

Answer 1

Cut off your right.
Nah, j/k. Practice and concentration, really. That's all it takes.

Answer 2

Since you draw with the right hand, try substituting with the left hand when the other gets tired. Guess I'm fortunate to be ambidextrous. Can draw and write with both but when in the first grade, (eons ago) teachers slapped us with a ruler for using the left hand.

Answer 3

Stop using your right hand! No, seriously... just practice.

Most people only use 1 hand because both sides of the brain can't work at once (or so I hear). Something to do with your motor skills.

I'm sort of ambidexter. I mostly use my left hand to write, eat, brush my teeth (and wipe my @$$). I brush my hair, play sports (bowling, softball) and do some misc stuff (like holding the tv remote or the computer mouse) with my right.

My brothers are also ambidexters, except that they're right handed. My boyfriend in only left handed. He's useless with his right hand.

Answer 4

The best way is to write your name with both hands at the same time. You will write your name right with your right hand and backwards with your left but when you get better you can write forward with your left.

Answer 5

when you have time, just pick up the pen/pencil and start writing with your left hand, at first it will look un-natural, keep going, it takes time. Some people are ambidextrous naturally. They don't have to work at it as hard. this is why people are either righty's or lefty's, I am a semi ambidextrous righty, my hubby is a semi ambidextrous lefty, it is a very interesting thing to see sometimes

Answer 6

I think if you just start using it more than your right or as much, you'll get used to it, you lef thand muscles will develop memory patterns such as writing. That hows people learn to type. THrough muscle memory.
Pretty soon you can become ambidextrous!

Answer 7

I actually would like to know the same thing. I think it is just based on habit because I know someone who can write with both. I would like to learn how too.

Answer 8

tie up the hand you usually use for a few days......
and your brain will start working towards training your other hand


you take the course of " least effort.."
that is why...

Answer 9

civilization that's all it just happens!
