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
- Start by using your opposite hand more often. When doing things where you usually use your dominant hand, use your opposite hand instead
- Practice writing with your opposite hand. Know the proper writing position for each hand. If you don’t know, search it up on Google
- Write at least one paragraph a day with your opposite hand, your writing should get better everyday
- Write more each week. If you do this, your neatness should greatly improve
- 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.
- When you eat food, put your spoon on your opposite hand and put your fork on your dominant hand
- Put your belt around your waist in the opposite direction, put your watch on your opposite hand
- 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.

A trick I learned lately that I’d like to share is fairly simple. Save up enough loose change to fill a large jar, say a Mason canning jar. Dump the jar of change out and sort the change using both hands at once. The trick is to assign different denominations to either hand; such as larger coins for your dominant hand and smaller ones for your off hand. It may take a while to make this work. Once you can sort different denominations with separate hands, you can make it harder by dumping the coins on a different surface, like a lumpy blanket on your bed. I’ve noticed a difference in my off hand just practicing sorting change lately. Hope this helps!

Interesting! My daughter was ambidexterous when she was younger but lost it as she grew into a teenager.

I have had a hard time when I was still ambidextrous back then, not a long time ago. I think our ambidexterity, and funnily all of us eldest children also have dextrocardia situs inversus totalis, the TOTAL mirror image of the internal organs reversed. My mom, my cousin and I were like this.
2 out of 3 of us, my mom and me, were transformed into right-handed people, but the total success was only with my mom; they only got me to write with my right, but all other things, I still do left.

I found out that my left hand was just as smart as my right hand late in life. I recently found the gripmaster to help strengthen both hands immensely and give dexterity to both hands. What a pleasure this tool is for those seeking a more interesting life.

I never knew how unique this was. I write with my left, throw with my right, kick with my left, play guitar right handed, box left handed, use a computer mouse with my right, but I can’t switch between the two. I could only do these things on one side only its just a trip how different activities use different sides of my brain when most people mainly use one side of the brain for all activities.

I found out early that i coluld use both hands for most things when i was a child, even writing. i usually eat with the first hand that pick the fork. i had a difficult time learning in school until i figured out on my own how to learn. this has been of a tremendious value for me at work. Now i need to go back to practicing with both hands.
