Imagine life having hands of equal ability! Amazing Right?

At this stage you probably don’t actually think its amazing at all. But it wasn’t until I started this weeks blog how retarded my left hand was and properly amazing it would be to use my left hand to do shit too!

Lovely Ladies and Kind Gents, I present to you:

 

WEEK 11: BECOMING AMBIDEXTEROUS!

 

Day 1:

 

I’m amazed at how difficult coherent hand writing is with my left hand! It’s not that it’s just out of practice, it seems my left hand just has no ability to move in the same ways as my right.

 

Today , I looked into ways to become ambidextrous online and to my dismay it takes people sometimes years to perfect. So my blog will almost certainly end in failure this week. But We’ll see. Here is an excerpt from my ambidextrous Diary thingy.

 


Day 2:

 

So Today I’ve looked a little further into the list of activities I’ve compiled from online articles about ambidextousnessnessness.

 

I’ve started to use a left-handed mouse on my work computer (basically just putting your normal mouse on the other side of the screen) It’s actually quite simple to manoeuver but it’s just the habit of going to move it with my right hand. I keep slapping my right hand down on the desk. It’s a real mind fuck this one.

 

I’ve also decided to practice the alphabet. It feels like I’ve gone back to junior infants. If I go really really really slowly I can ALMOST make them look proper

 


 

DAY 3:

 

So I’m not sure If I’m really improving but I’m going ahead with the exercises anyway. Today I brought Weight training into the eqaution. Building up muscle in your whole arm is supposed to help with matters. It probably helps in the long run and prob for activities less intricate than writing, which seems to be the thing i’m focussing on for this weeks blog. But sure, I’ll give it a go anyway.

 

Today I’ve deccided to do things like brush my teeth each day with my left hand and sent texts usung only my left hand. My left hand wasnt te best at the old teeth cleaning so for fear of my teet alling out of my head I decided to go over them with the rusty old right hand. Texting was simple. Its just pointing really. There are no twists and turns involved.

 

 


DAY 4:

 

Today I decided to tie my right hand up in an oven glove. While I had been trying to do day to day things with my left hand afer a very short while you just forget. Its what I’ve been doing all my life so its exremely difficult to change a life long habit. So cuting out the ability of my right hand should help me in this one. Again, I’m not sure of the immediate effects of just one hour long session but I could see the benefits of this in the long run.

 

DAY 5:

 

Today I’m going to try perfect my signature. As a friend pointed out to me. Its a very practical skill to have. Especially if i wanna be a famous person! But what I realised in this exercise is that i have a stupid signature in the first place. Its not all squiggles, it’s clearly legible. I may need to change my signature to a normal persons signature. Shit one!


DAY 6:

 

Today I’ve realiused how bloody long it takes to do everything with my left hand. So I decided to do some speed tests

I’ve aslso practiced doing the different curves required in defferent words..if that makes sense. And some pretty pictures!!! :D :D :D

Its essentially my last day of training and i’m aware of how little progress it looks like i’ve made. SO sorry pals

 

DAY 7:

 

So this is it, my final day.

I thik I did pretty damn well and showed a lot of dedication!

 

Week 12 Becoming Ambidextrous…. I minor success I think, maybe
