I am right handed. And I want to become ambidextrous. Is there any way to practice and become ambidextrous?

Tie your right hand behind your back and only use your left hand for everything. It works - but takes a bit of time. You have to train your brain - not your hand.

A good exercise is to write with the left hand in cursive. Gets your mind working. Carry groceries in left hand. Use tools with left hand. The ambidextrous thing can sometimes be not to your advantage in my and another esteemed guy I knows, opinion. Coordination issues.

I think one is born with this ability, but if you don't know you are but find yourself using both hands,then you just need to practise and it will get better. I actually stumbled onto mine one day while doing an art project and the only way to do parts of it was with my left hand. So I kept at it and now I can shoot pool with my left hand which really screws up the other players when I switch hands in the middle of the game. LOL
Keep practising, you will get better. Good luck and have fun with it.

I am naturally left handed and I broke my arm so I had to learn to do everything right handed. Now I still write left handed but everything else I do right handed.

Necessity is the mother of invention. When you can, wrap your right hand in an ace bandage so it is unusable, forcing you to train yourself. When my daughter broke her right arm she suddenly had to learn to write with her left. At the time she was only in 3rd grade. Her left hand writing improved dramatically in only 6 weeks.

I learned the hard way. I punched this guy's lights out one time, but I broke some bones in my own hand and had to wear a cast for 8 weeks!

wow sounds like me!! I am also right handed and when I broke one of my right finger I had to eat and write with my left hand. I never meant for it to happen but now I eat with my left hand and write with my right hand. Although I can write with my left, I don't quite like my handwriting because it isn't as good as my right.. haha confusing but yea... try eating with your left hand first. When you get into the swing of things it will be easier to write with it. Also, write A-Z over and over with your left hand; it helps.

PracticeecitcarP. Mirrors might help. Also keeping your right hand in a mitten or oven mitt.

Tie your dominate hand behind your back. This is a therapy for recovering stroke victims.
