Can you teach yourself to write left handed if you were born using your right hand?

Answer 1

Yes you can, just takes a lot of practice.

From Left-to-Right: For all the "Righties" that have wondered about, or even wanted to be, "Lefties".
Steps

1. Practice, practice, practice. Did I mention that you need to practice? You can start by using your left hand in place of your right for everyday tasks; including writing.
2. As earlier mentioned, start doing everyday tasks with your left hand. This trains your left hand to do things your dominate hand, your right, does naturally. Brush your teeth while holding the toothbrush in your left hand; turn the faucet on with you left instead of your right; or reach for things with your left. This may all seem really awkward at first, but over time, you'll find it becomes a natural action.
3. Watch other left handed people. Look at the way they reach for their keys, or put on a belt, and of course, how they write. Try to imitate those movements when you do those same things.
4. Learn to write all over again. By this I mean, purchase writing tablets used for children that are just learning to write. A good example are tablets and notebooks that have the dotted letters for you to trace. This allows you to learn the motions needed for writing from the opposite side of the brain. Once again, You Have To Practice!
5. Try Coloring with your left hand. It will help you to control the motion of you left hand.
6. Check out web sites that offer information on the history of handedness. There are quite a few out there. A good place to start is the Handedness Research Institute.The HRI is a fun and information-packed site offering insight into just how the brain and handedness works.
7. Above all, have fun with it. If the task of learning to write with your left becomes a dreaded chore, you will lose interest in learning and quit. Seek out fun ways to use your left hand in different situations. Make the process a fun one!


Tips

* Practice as often as you can.
* Try throwing and catching a tennis ball with your left hand.
* Start thinking like a "Leftie". Talk to left-handed people for a different point of view.
* Switch the controls on your mouse so you can use it with your left hand.


Warnings

* In the beginning, your left arm and hand muscles will be quite sore. This is due to training muscles that your right hand already uses.
* Be sure to rest your arm and hand often. Over use can lead to injury.
