Just finished drawing whole illustration with my left hand and I feel like my brain is on fire lol
I've been writing for 2 years. Only started doing cursive after a year. Still not as fluid with my right. I can't draw left-hand.
@@gam940 cool story bro
It's totally normal to have this feeling like your brain is on fire.
For me I felt it when I learned my second language and when I started to calculate chess moves.
@@bigshrimp4846 i need to practice left hand because I want to be surgeon :) and I'll need 2 hands!
I don't know this on fire meaning. I'm naturally ambidextrous, I can't compute this. Do you just mean you're really excited?
I’m learning this so I can make my teacher go crazy by writing with each hand each day
Me to
Lol 😆 im planning on doing that too but I'm also learning cz i was left handed when i was little but my mamma made me do things with right hand cz "it's a sin" to do things like eating and etc with left hand
@@musicislifeline6351 are you a muslim?
@@pabloescobar7679 well yes i am what about you?
Rofl what a reason
About 2 years ago i began writing left-handed. I do it almost every day. I still need to take my time when i write, but i am improving. I recently began throwing left-hand. It's slow, but i see progress. I heard the phrase " it's all in the wrist " and i agree , even when writing.
Do you just practice? I mean I want to write with my non dominant hand so is there any tips or only practice and practice??
have you noticed any difference concerning doing analytic thinking, for example do you find it easier to do basic mathematical operations etc. after improving your lefty?
@@arslanduha there are some peer reviewed studies that show that there was little to no natural improvement...however, it doesn't mean that you can't improve these things you just have to practise
@@kurt7842 Yeah , i realize i even get worse at doing some easy mathematical calculations after a long time of not doing so. After all, brain is really a muscle that needs to be trained.
it feels really uncomfortable to use my right hand, im trying to learn how to write on the right side but i just cant, it feels so uncomfortableee
When my right hand is tired of drawing at least I have a left hand
Tried to drive with non dominant hand today, instructions unclear. 2.5 dead, 12 injured. I'll be off the grid for the next couple months so I should have an excess of time to train my non dominant hand! Thanks!
😶
😐
LmAo
The fuck you mean 2.5 dead
2.5? Did you hit an amputee?
I've been writing with my left hand for 2 weeks and I can write decently fast with it, now I have some teachers asking whether I'm right handed or left handed. Then I switch to the other arm when I tell them which of my hands are dominant
looked this up because I'm trying to improve my timing on drums to match my right, definitely helped
interesting...have you measured the improvement/bpm increase? do you feel you have more control over dynamics on your non dominant hand?
Samee
me too lol
No way, I'm not the only one 😂
Same here. I've started using my slave hand outside of drumming alot more, inorder to improve its dexterity and mobility etc.
I love being left-handed but I really wanna write with both hands because then I can use right handed scissors without discomfort
I have rheumatoid arthritis, which is painfully affecting my wrists (of course) but especially my dominant hand- right one. So in case my right wrist swells up and is unusable, I don't have much of a choice but to learn to use my lefty. And another thing, I'm a student of graphic design major, so I NEED to use my hand a lot.
I use vertical (ergonomic) mouse and do knuckle push ups instead of the regular.
It's harder to find a replacement for everything, but maybe that helps you
i hope u get better
I've been welding 9yrs with my dominant right hand. And for about 3 months now. I started using my left hand.
Nice man that's some skill 👌
cool
Whoof
I don't know why some people here in the comments say that you're weird. But maybe I'm also just weird. I'm typing this with my non dominant hand btw :)
I'm not bored but I want to train the small muscles of my non dominant body side, they just aren't as strong as my other side, because I don't use them in my everyday life.
Because it is not normal to be left handed
@@blacklyfe5543 it is its a genetic trait
ppl can be left or right handed
I'm lefty but I have learned naturally to use right-handed tools and some activities like using scissors and mouse.
Same
I'm a righty. I used my right hand to throw a football or write ect. I use my left hand, however, to throw a frisbee or play ping pong.
I started learning sign language with my non dominant hand as a personal experiment kinda and it's blossomed into me slowly doing other things with it and every time i practice something using my "weaker" hand....my brain feels like how mybody does after a run: tired but worth it
That’s awesome on so many levels. Good for you Marcus!
You my guy. Have a new subscriber. I did not come here for all the extra. I was just looking to see if it was possible to be as comfortable with my non dominant, as I I am with my dominant.
Picking my nose is a delicate process that requires a certain degree of precision to not hurt myself in the process.
That's what i trained my left hand with.
Writing is something else though.
I always hated writing with a pen, even with my dominant hand.
bro u cracked me up with that nose picking stuff
I'm doing a page of practicing letters and shapes and my head hurts 😭. As an artist, I think this would help me get better at seeing things more effectively.
I'm watching this because of basketball and somehow want to train my non dominant hand for dribbling and ball handlings, I hope it helps
Im an artist and i have health issues with my dominant hand. Ive been increasingly worried about losing the mobility someday, so its time to learn with my left. Hopefully i can get this to work
This is the exact reason I’m here to, I’ve got carpal tunnel in the family so 🤞
who elses non dominant hand do the same thing as the dominant hand is doing, btw thx for the tips i'll train my left hand tomorrow my left hand kinda struggling of playing piaano sooooooo
My teacher told me only a few people can be ambidextrous, which really intrigued me and now I want to learn this skill, wish me luck!
I’m using this because my dominant hand is sprained and I have to use my left for everything for the time being
Thanks for the video
I was seriously thinking that my left hand was far behind than my right hand in all things like throwing ball and so on now i think its kind of okay!
Thx for this advices 👍
Thanks doc!
I tried driving my car with my left foot accelerator and brake its difficult but it works as well
Dont do that, its risky mate
Bro wth😭
This nigga playin with life and death😭
Right bro
I'm trying to get faster in Cytoid because my left hand is so slow it's painful to ruin my Full Combo
I want to train my left hand in hope that i can make it my dominant since my right hand was broken few years back and it hurts me to use it in sports etc..
First thing im going to try is typing with my left hand it's easy but it still feels unfamiliar I'm going to do exercises with my left hand and I'll try updating!
according to some people learning how to use your non dominant hand can help to improve your motor skills and your brain. others on the other hand claim that those who are ambidextrous actually do poorer on memory test for example. now in my opinion learning how to use your non dominant hand will definitely not lower your brain's performance although i have doubts it will help it either it will however help with your motor skills. i hope it will also help with you mental capacity but one article i read says yes while the other says no. and i don't know what to believe
Had to start walking with a cane after an accident. I hold my cane in my dominant hand and do everything now with non dominant hand, everything from opening doors to brushing teeth. I didn't unlock some mystical powers or secrets of the universe by using my left hand for everything. Realized quickly though about internal rotation and external rotation but still about creative as a box of rocks
I work in a kitchen, about a month ago, I started using my chefs knife left handed. Now I instinctively grab the knife with the left hand without realizing it right away. My knife left handed knife skills are almost on par with my right hand, but still feels a little awkward at times.
I'm left hand dominant but I learned to write with my right hand so I'm trying to fix it
I'm late but great info im learning to use my left hand. I'm right handed
Thanks DOC
i just wanna learn how to draw with my non dominant hanf in case any accident happen art is my passion and i want to avoid accidents
I stumbled here by accident. I've been wanting to buy Brain Save by Titus Chiu for ages. I have an Audible subscription and have been wanting to get this book for ages, but it's not available. Reading physical books gives me a headache.
i just broke my arm severely and cant draw with it for 11 weeks I hope I can learn to draw with my left soon
I do everyday things pretty much with my non-dominant hand except for writing/anything involves holding a pen. It's great but my non-dominant hand still felt like it wasn't good enough(not really stable) especially when holding a mouse and playing games :(
yea so I did this, not from this video but in general. I wanted to get better in music so I limited tapping the beat to my left hand to train, my less dominant.. Only my left hand was permitted to jam.
Now my left hand is better than my right at music. It has a mind of it's own. OMG, its after me, It knows I talking about him.. I revealed to much.. HELP!!!
I’ll give it a whirl. Why not? I’ve had a stroke so I will try anything. Thank you.
My wiring is jacked up. I write left handed and shoot a basketball left hand but everything else athletic throw, catch etc. is right handed. 😂
Same I can write in my left and can play basketball on my right
I'm ambidextrous in everything except baseball. I throw AND catch right-handed. I don't even know if there's a word for that. I know ambisinister means bad with both, but that's not this lol
Its midnight i have school tomorrow i don't know why I'm so curious to learn this thing rn
Yoo! I have the same metal straws, let's goo!!
does catching work with the queen piece from a chess board?
Looked this up to do my nails🤩
when I was born, I was a lefty. but my parents change me to right hand.
did they change it for religious reasons or for convenience reasons? or something else?
Good
@@masongoble190 religious
This is going to take a while but I’m trying
Thank you earned a sub
Welcome!
Will this work for boxing
Is it weird to have a right dominant hand and a left dominant leg?
I like to think I'm very well balanced and ambidextrous..thanks to consistently doing things on both sides (alternating hands and feet..e.g. kicking a ball with both feet, using toothbrush in non-dominant hand). I'm naturally right-handed and left-footed, but always work on my "weaker" side. It always makes me cringe to see how onesided people are ..even sportspeople
i’m just doing this for fun lol
U are awesome 👹
i recent began writing right-handed. I am left-handed. it's very difficult i don't know took in a pen
Hi, i used train my non-dominant hand and then i quit. Right now I'm trying to do it more often, like a personal goal, better spending of my free time and also a distraction for my ADHD brain. Do you recommend this to do it everyday or should i start with just a few days per week?, and for how long during the day? Thank you. Greetings from Mexico.
You can do it everyday. I saw another video, where a girl uses her non-dominant hand to write. 15 minutes everyday and on the 20th day her handwriting was way better than the 1st day.
So how is it, have you learnt yet?
As another person with an ADHD brain, setting metrics like "I need to do such-and-so every day" is more likely to make a task feel like a chore and you won't be able to leverage your very limited dopamine pool to do it out of sheer "willpower". Instead, you need to find ways to trick your brain into thinking that it is a fun task in and if itself in order to find the inclination to do it naturally. Consuming media that you know makes you feel excited for whatever it is you want the outcome to be during downtime is a particularly effective way to build up background motivation. Our brains are better than the neurotypical brain at learning from sporadic massive dumps of progress, so forcing yourself to make a habit the normal way is an inefficient way to do things for us
(yeah I know this doesn't apply to everything and that some habits really are best done the neurotypical way, but I think it's important to take into account in all scenarios)
Why do i write with my left but do everything with my right
Im trying to train my left hand because I'm training my setting skills in volleyball
if your a left handed you already know how to do multiple things with your non-dominant hand (right hand) because of majorities of ppl are right handed
Nice Microphone quality.
It causes a short in the brain if you become proficient at using ur opposite hand. Your brain ceazes up. And becomes grid locked.
trying to type this with my non dominant hand
Cannot describe the pain of trying to train nunchucks with ur non dominate hand I just wanna be good at double nunchucks again
im mixed handed so this just gonna make me even more lol
Same 🤣
Im trying this because I started playing eletric guitar and my left hand has to be useful lol
Edit: I’m starting my first song! (Come as you are by Nirvana)
Hey, it's been 7 months! How is it going?
@@dupiti1033 omg hi! it really has been 7 months aiahqjhs. ive actually learned like 10 songs by now 😂😂, my most recent is beat it by michael jackson :D
@@winterr19_92 That's so great! I'm proud of you stranger! A lot of people quit within a few weeks. It makes me feel happy that someone stuck to it. Good luck forward!!
@@dupiti1033 thank you!! 🥺
@@winterr19_92I have learned one song for some reason I’m really good at my left hand when playing Gutair but when it comes to anything else I’m super bad left hand
WTF BRO!!!!!
NOW I CAN WRITE WITH MY BOTH HANDS
With you toes is crazy 😂
The fact that I’m right handed but I use my left hand to play badminton and I can draw stars with it
Alumni.🎉
I occasionally feel pain/stinging in my left pinky and third finger whenever I try to use my left hand. Is that normal?
Nerve getting pinched, try changing the position or something under your wrist... just seen your comment says 1yr, you prob have it mastered by now😂
@@dingdong00002 Absolutely not. The pain honestly kept me from mastering it lmao.
@morethanmeetsi3062 elevate between the wrist and hand... definitely a nerve getting pinched. No pain no gain they say 😂
Well, im left handed but for me it’s More comfotable to use the mouse with my right Hand
Oh okieee
because most mice are made for right handed people
broke my dominant hand, i hope this works!
i'm a little ambidextrous already
I am left handed for doing things that require delicacy like writing, drawing.
but i am right handed for things that require strenght like playing catch, or carring something heavy, or idk
i'm trying to learn how to write with my right hand but i literally feel like i'm going to throw up when i try to do it
like i feel so weird and unconfortable
i don't even know how to explain it.
This is so weird.
Been writing for 2 years. Still not as fluid as normal hand. It really makes me be patient and not rush through what I'm writing ( i keep a daily " log") But yeah, sometimes i wanna scream😒
@@gam940 same dude. When I try to draw with my left, i feel uncomfortable, short of breath. Like my brain is tired
That makes sense I think since the left side of the brain controls the right hand and the left side is considered more creative which may help in a game but the right is analytical which helps in things with precision like drawing or maybe thinking to much into it and it’s just because your brain is different than most
I only use my right hand for writing and using chopsticks. Cuz my parent used to beat me for not. So I use my left side for everything else 😂
You sounded bill nye the science guy for a sec 😂😂😂🔥
I love pomegranates there’s so good 🤤
I'm watching this video with my non-dominant eye.
I LOST My right hand this month and i'm trying to learn how to write in left hand before the final exam 😅 but is too hard
I’m right handed but I can stand on my left leg for 12 minutes and only like 4 on my right leg
I'm gonna start practicing writing in Kanji using only my left hand lol
I’m left handed but if I use my left hand my teacher always says I should use my right hand
Oh I'm training my left hand alright...
You’re hilarious 😂 thanks for the laugh
Yupyupyup 😛
I'm currently typing this on my phone with my left hand and I already want to give up
Uh I am a bit late but, I want to be able to use both hands so I can get better at martial arts, just in case I have a bad shoulder and that way I will also train my left leg
I am left-handed, unlike others my right hand and leg are non-dominant.
I do not know how to activate my right hand and leg, if someone can help, pls reply soon
Have you tried turning them off and on again?

I really need this confidence boost.
My invitation letter to Hogwarts never arrived and I've had a missing hole inside me ever since.
I’m doing it to have a wide scope so it’s easier to learn cool things and this is cool so I’m doing both sorry your Hogwarts letter did not come maybe they were full?
Me: I forced myself to keep the beat in music with my left hand, alternating fingers. I wanted to learn the guitar but my Left hand said NO!
Now my left hand picks up the beat before my right, it's now an unconscious decision. I will be listening to music, look over and my left hand is tapping the beat.
Keep at it with the guitar! I never thought I'd be able to but with practice I can play! I still can't do barre chords after ten years bc hand says no, but you can get around that
the positioning is hard lol
i suggest trying to draw a circle/any shape u find hard to draw and try find the position you find it easier to draw with!
