When we come into this world, we do not know how to talk, walk, sit. In general, we know little! There is only one conclusion – you can learn everything if you want, you just need time. This also applies to writing. Most of the world’s population is right-handed. And it suits many. But due to certain circumstances, many people have to master the work and writing with their left hand. Many people just want to learn how to.
How to learn to write with your left hand
Consider the benefits of being able to write with your left hand. Firstly, the work of the hemispheres of the brain depends on which hand a person writes with. If you write with your right hand, the left hemisphere of the brain is more developed. Conversely, if you are left-handed, the right hemisphere is better developed. But each hemisphere is responsible for different functions. For example, a right-hander relies more on intuition, while a left-hander relies more on logic and analysis. A person with a developed right hemisphere is a creative person with a developed imagination. He is better orientated in space. In addition, the convolutions of the right half are responsible for the ability to dream, a sense of humor and fantasy.
Let’s analyze, now all the pluses, why you should learn to write with your left hand:
If you can write with both hands, you will be immediately noticed, this is unusual.
In the world, only 17% of people write with their left hand – this is a rarity.
Synchronization of both hemispheres of the brain. So who knows? Maybe you will discover new talents and new hobbies.
If, God forbid, you can’t work with your right hand, you will always have a “backup” left hand.
Each of us at least once in our lives tried to write with the opposite hand. The first time it turns out ugly and crooked.
How to learn to write with your left hand
So, we begin to learn to write with the left hand. You need to have a piece of paper with you, preferably clean and white, a pencil or a pen, and, of course, a “carriage” of patience. What to choose: you learn to write with a pencil or a pen – absolutely, your decision. The more convenient it is to write, the better to use. If you have to try a dozen knobs to find the most comfortable tool, do it. Anyone who has written a lot in life will understand that this is not an unimportant thing. First things first, you need to tune in that you will have to work with your left hand every day and several times. Plan your free time and set aside at least fifteen minutes a day for classes. It is better to write a little every day than once a month for several sheets, since each time will be like the first. If scheduling fails, try to have study tools always at hand. To use them when you are at lunch during work hours, in a car in traffic, on vacation in the country or in line at the post office. You can take an ordinary common notebook with you, using it as a substrate, so that it is more convenient to write. But it is desirable to study in a well-equipped place and with good lighting, preferably on the right side.
You need to start with a word consisting of four to five letters. For example, take the word “elephant” and write it. One single word, nothing more needs to be invented. The longer you write “elephant”, the more you will get. Do it for the best result. Start writing in capital letters. This is how muscle memory will be developed. Next, take a more difficult word and write it several times in a row.
Next, you should teach your left hand not only to write, but also to do everyday things that you used to trust only with your right hand. For example, combing, eating soup, sweeping, in general, everything that you did before as a right “assistant”. This is necessary in order to develop all the muscles in the hand, fingers, and forearm. Motor skills will return to normal and it will be much easier for the left hand to write letters. Most importantly, your “lazy person” should be comfortable.
