How do I become ambidextrous?

Question

In writing and such.

Answer 1

You carry a mirror with you 24/7. Everytime you write point it at the mirror! Tada!

Answer 2

You can practice eating, writing, etc., with both hands, independently or together.

Answer 3

You can't.

Most people find that pure practice can bring both hands to similar levels. However, you will have to practice each activity individually, and assuming you practice any given activity equally with both hands, you will always be better with your dominant hand.

Answer 4

I've read that you can train your mind to be ambidextrous.  If your right hand is your dominant hand then try practicing every day to do things ie writing a  sentence with you left hand.  

There is a branch of kinesiology, called Brain Gym.  This uses various simple exercises, to help whole brain function.  

I'm sending you a link just so you get an idea what this is about.  I'm sure there are many other web-sites, or books, where you can get an idea of the types of exercises.

Answer 5

i could not really tell you how i was born like that and my brother was born left handed and but my mother taught  him to be right handed when he was really young so he has just always know how to do it

Answer 6

Break your dominant arm, especially if you are a south paw. I'm afraid tehabwa is misinformed. Left handed people or southpaw's brains are less lateralized than their right handed counterparts. This means there is less specialization in the two sides of their brains. The right side of the brain controls the functions of the left side of the body, and vice versa. When left handers suffer brain injuries they  typically experience less language loss as a result of being able to use both hemispheres fairly well. I know a left handed person who, as a child, broke his left arm, he now uses both equally because he played baseball right handed. Being less lateralized he was able to develop skills in his right at an early age This verifies the less lateralization idea. Left handed people's brain hemispheres have also been shown to be more symetrical  in size than right handed peoples.

Answer 7

Practice, practice, practice.

Answer 8

uh, practice writing with both hands

Answer 9

try writing with the other hand more, ive tried and the only 2 words i can write is apples and to but hey, good luck with that my abidexrous friend = D

Answer 10

I suggest you crush the hand you currently write with therefore forcing you to write with the other hand. In time the good hand will heal and you will resume writing with that.

Answer 11

I am left handed, and broke my left wrist when I was in 3rd grade, so I had to write with my right hand. My penmanship wasn't pretty, but it was readable. All you'd have to do is stop using whatever hand is dominant. Your body will adapt and you'll get better, but probably not as good as you were naturally.

Answer 12

You can't.

We are born with whatever handedness we have.

IF you're actually ambidextrous, but have been primarily using one hand, then you could start using the other more often.

But if you weren't born ambidextrous, you can't "become" ambidextrous.
