Becoming left-handed if you are right-handed can be an interesting and smart challenge.If you can do this, you will become ambidextrous (a person able to use both hands equally naturally), like many historical figures such as Einstein, Michelangelo, Harry Kahne, Tesla, da Vinci, Fleming and Benjamin Franklin.Being ambidextrous gives you many advantages.For example, you will have an advantage in billiards because you will be able to make shots with both hands, and you will not be uncomfortable with shots that are normally difficult for left-handed or right-handed people;you will have an advantage in tennis because in emergency situations you will be able to play a forehand with your left hand.Learning to use your left hand takes time and patience, but è doable with commitment and an open mind!
-
Practice with your left hand every day. You won't be able to use your left hand in a day - this process can take months or even years.So if you want to learn to use your left hand, you will have to practice every day.
- Spend time every day practicing writing with your left hand.It won't take much time;even 15 minutes a day will help you improve at a satisfactory pace.
- In fact, it's best not to practice for too long, because you'll probably just get frustrated and abandon your attempt.
- Practicing a little every day is the best way to progress.
- Practice drawing letters in the air.Try this exercise with your right hand first, then switch to your left hand, imitating the movements.Move on to paper tests later;you will have to practice a lot to prepare your muscles.
-
Keep your hand in the correct position. When training to write with your left hand, it's important to hold the pencil or pen comfortably.
- Many people have a tendency to hold the pen too tightly, using their hand like a claw.However, this creates tension in the hand, and will lead to you getting tired and suffering from cramps.If that happens, you won't be able to write well.
- Keep your hand loose and relaxed, using the same gestures you use with your right hand.Make a conscious effort to relax your hand every few minutes when you write.
- The materials you use for writing are very important for the comfort of writing with your left hand.Use high-quality lined paper and a good pen with smooth ink.
- Tilt the paper so that you are working on it at an angle of 30-45° to the right.Writing at this angle should feel more natural to you.
-
Try the alphabet. Start by writing the alphabet with your left hand, in lowercase and uppercase letters.Do this slowly and carefully, focusing on the perfection of each letter.Accuracy is more important than speed for now.<br.br>
- As a touchstone, you should also write the alphabet with your right hand.This way you can try to perfectly imitate the letters written with your right hand.
- Do not throw away the test pages, but keep them in a folder.When you feel frustrated and tempted to give up, you can look at these sheets again and notice your progress.You should renew your motivation to continue.
-
Practice writing sentences. When you get tired of writing the alphabet, you can start writing sentences.
- Start with something simple like "I'm writing this sentence with my left hand."Remember to go slowly and focus on accuracy, not efficiency.
- Try writing the phrase "Few strain that vine stem" over and over again.It is a pangram and as such contains all the letters of the alphabet, it is excellent for practice.
- Other sentences that contain all the letters are:"Luncheon of water makes crooked faces" and "That crooked fez covers the front".
-
Use a book to learn to write. When children first learn to write, they use instructional books where they can trace letters on dotted lines.This helps them control hand movements and improve accuracy.
- When you learn to write with your left hand, you're basically teaching your hand and your brain to write again, so using one of these books isn't a bad idea.
- You can also use copies with other sentences to make sure the letters you write have the correct proportions.
-
Try writing backwards. In the Italian language, and in many other languages of the world, writing is from left to right.
- This is natural writing for right-handers.It also helps you avoid smudging the ink as you move your hand across the page.
- For left-handed people, however, this movement is often unnatural and can lead to ink smudging.For these reasons, left-handed people often feel more comfortable writing backwards.
- In fact, the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci was left-handed and often wrote notes and letters backwards.They could only be deciphered by holding the paper in front of the mirror and reading its reflection.
- Practice writing backwards with your left hand - you might be surprised at how easily it becomes.Remember to write from right to left.You'll also have to write the letters backwards for true backwards writing!
-
Draw. Even if your goal is to write with your left hand, you can also get benefits from drawing.You will improve hand control and strength.
- Start with something simple, such as drawing simple shapes like circles, squares and triangles.Then move on to objects around you, such as trees, lamps and chairs, then if you feel particularly confident, people and animals.
- You can try practicing by drawing the subjects upside down (reversed) with your left hand.This will not only allow you to improve your writing skills, but it is also a great brain exercise that will encourage creative thinking!
- Many great artists, such as Michelangelo, da Vinci and Sir Edwin Henry Landseer were ambidextrous.This allowed them to switch between hands while drawing if their hand got tired or if they needed to work at a particular angle.Landseer was famous for being able to draw with both hands at the same time.[1]
-
Have patience. As mentioned above, learning to write with your left hand is a process that takes time and dedication.You will have to be patient and avoid giving up too easily.
- Remember that it took years to learn to write with your right hand as a child, and while it won't take that long to learn to write with your left (some of the skills are transferable) the learning process will take time.
- Don't worry about speed initially;keep practicing with as much control and precision as possible and you will become faster and more confident.
- Keep reminding yourself what an impressive and useful skill it is to be able to write with both hands.Staying motivated is the biggest challenge you'll face in becoming left-handed.

Do everything with your left hand. The skills have been automatically transferred from the right hand to the left hand in your life, so it won't be that difficult to start doing left-handed things.Since skills also transfer from one task to another in some way, you will gain the ability to do something with your left hand faster if you do everything with that hand.Be patient.It is believed that the older you are, the more difficult it is to become left-handed or right-handed, but this is not true.The older you are, the longer it takes for the left hand to reach the same level of skill as the right, but the less time it takes to reach an absolute amount of dexterity.The most important and simple thing you can do to strengthen your left hand is to use it to complete all the actions and activities for which you normally use your right hand.
- Force yourself to brush your teeth with your left hand.You'll also be able to comb your hair, drink a cup of coffee, spread jam on bread and open doors with your left hand, among all the other daily activities you can think of.
- Also try throwing darts (in a safe environment), playing pool, or throwing and catching a baseball with your left hand.
- If you have trouble remembering to use your left hand, and keep using your right by accident, try binding the fingers of your right hand together.This will prevent you from using it and force you to use your left hand.

Start trying finer motor activities like writing in the mirror, playing pool, and gutting shrimp now that you've practiced the simpler activities. - It will take many years for you to become as proficient with your left hand as you are with your right, but probably less than two months to reach a comparable level of skill.Once you're skilled enough to do the task with your left hand, you won't have to be eager to get even better with that hand just because you're even more skilled with your right hand.You can skip steps 2-7 if you want to become ambidextrous faster and can tolerate the tedium of having to perform tasks very slowly at first.
-
Remember to always use your left hand. Using your right hand is so natural to your brain that you will do it automatically, without thinking.This can be a problem when trying to become left-handed.To overcome this problem, try to invent a system to remind yourself to always use your left hand.
- For example, write the word "left" on the back of your left hand and "right" on the right.This way you will have a visual reminder every time you pick up a pen or complete another task.
- You could also try wearing the watch on your right wrist and not your left.This will greatly help your subconscious understand that you are trying to switch sides.
- Another thing you can do is put stickers on your phone, refrigerator, and door handles.These cards will remind you to use your left hand whenever you do something.
