Develop the left hand for. Writing with the left hand is useful

Everyone knows that development is an indispensable part of every person's life. The development of the brain plays a special role, because it is thanks to it that a person is able to do something, make decisions, think, that is, it contributes to the normal functioning of the whole organism as a whole. In order for both hemispheres of the brain to work while writing something, you need to know how to develop left hand if you are right handed.

Do I need to develop my left hand?

Before you begin training, you need to understand whether it is useful to develop the left hand. Hands are a very important "tool" for brain development. That is why it is very useful to work with two hands, because in this way a person can develop both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. A person who can write with both his right and left hand can discover a lot in himself. Also, thanks to the development fine motor skills a person develops coordination of movements.

How to develop the left hand?

The ability to write with your left hand helps not only to discover new ones, but also to coordinate the work of each hemisphere of the brain. Through the ability to write with the left hand, one can develop intuition, creativity, sense of humor, etc. In order to develop the left hand, it is necessary to follow the instructions below clearly.

Hello everyone, Andrey Kosenko is with you.

Do familiar things in a new way

Today we continue to talk about self-development. This time I will tell you about a rather interesting exercise, which I myself practice from time to time, and which I also recommend to you. This exercise will require very little time from you, just a few minutes a day, in addition, you can combine it with your daily activities, but it will have a very, very strong and positive effect on your brain development.

So, the meaning of the exercise is as follows: to start doing your daily activities and habitual procedures in a new way. For example, if you usually brush your teeth with your right hand, then start brushing them with your left hand. Or change it periodically: one day hold the toothbrush in your right hand, and the next day in your left. Or, for example, you work at a computer, hold the mouse with your right hand, then right now take it and shift it to your left hand and try to work like this for a while.

Stimulation of brain development

It is clear that the first moments your brain will resist, you will feel some extra movement of thought, you will scroll through all your actions, additionally control them. But after a while, you will begin to develop new connections, and it will already be easier for you, for example, to control the mouse with your left hand. Then, after a while, you will shift the mouse back to your right hand, and then back to your left, and so you can change the hand you work with during the day.

What is it for? It is necessary for the development of your brain. With this exercise, new neural connections are developed in your brain, new parts of your brain are activated, it begins to use more of its resources, to use more of its potential. Plus, your concentration increases. Try eating with the other hand, that is, holding a fork, knife or other cutlery in a different hand than usual, try to perform any familiar actions with the other hand. For example, you can also start writing with the other hand, this also stimulates the brain very much, activates it very much.

Using both hands

Plus, for example, if we continue the subject of the letter with the other hand, then I recommend the following exercise: take one pen in one hand, another one in the other hand and start drawing some figure in parallel. To begin with, you can simply draw crosses with both hands, then complicate the exercise and draw a cross with one hand and a zero with the other. Then you complicate it even more and draw a square with one hand and a triangle with the other. Then you can generally start writing different words different hands, that is, write one word with one hand, and another one with the other.

It turns out that in the process of this activity your brain will switch very, very quickly between one action and another, it will “creak” very much, strain very much, but such an explosive training is very, very good for your brain. Therefore, try, practice this, and you don’t have to do it for a particularly long time, you don’t have to sit for half an hour and write. Literally, draw with two hands for a maximum of five minutes, write with both hands. You can generally include the rest of the exercises throughout the day, just replace them with your usual actions. That is, brush your teeth with the other hand, shift the mouse to the other hand, or use cutlery with the other hand.

Following the example of the great

Believe me, this has a very, very strong effect on the development of your brain. For example, the same Gaius Julius Caesar and, say, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, they could write with both hands. We will not consider the contribution to the history of these people, but the fact that they were geniuses, that their brain worked above the average level, is undeniable.

In fact, everyone can master it, only practice is important. Just give yourself five minutes every day and you will succeed. Therefore, start right from the current moment, shift the mouse to the other hand and forward to the development of your brain. I'm sure you will succeed!

Thank you all, Andrey Kosenko was with you. See you in the next casts, bye everyone!

It is known that development is an obligatory part of our life. Especially the development of the brain, because it is this organ that directs our life, moreover, it contributes to the normal functioning of the whole organism.

We live by performing actions that have long become a habit. It is not often that right-handed people think about why they use their right hand most often - they write with it, count money, take up the door handle, brush their teeth, etc. With regard to left-handers, the same can be said, although left-handed people are more likely to realize that they are not like that. like everyone else, because the majority are right-handed.

Therefore, our article will refer to the majority of right-handed people for whom society has created more comfortable conditions. So, dear right-handers, the question is:

Why don't we develop the left hand as well?

You ask: why?

It is more convenient and more habitual for me to work with the right hand. What do I need extra effort to acquire the skills of virtuoso possession of the left hand?

And in order to force our brain to work more productively.

LEFT-HANDED PRINCIPLE

Everything is logical. We develop the left side of the body - we get the development of the right hemisphere. As a result, our logical mind is enriched by connecting the intuitive and creative channels of the brain.

LETTER LEFT HAND

A great way to develop your left hand is to teach it how to use writing instruments - a pen and a pencil. For right-handers, this will be a very interesting activity, although not so simple. Let's try again to feel like preschool children who are learning to write. Only this time with the left hand.

Fortunately, schools have long ceased to practice the terrible method of forcibly retraining inborn left-handers. However, many people who write with their left hand do so with a strong flexion of the wrist. Thus, the hand holding the pen is on top of the stitch. Although this allows you to see the written text, the hand with this method strains more and gets tired more often.

STAGES OF TRAINING

1. Set a goal

Why do you want to learn the skill of writing with your left hand? In order to comprehend something new, to develop the brain, intuition, creative sphere, or to surprise acquaintances and friends. Answer this question and let it be your motivation for learning. The lack of a goal can lead to the fact that you stop doing it before you finish the job.

2. Equip the workplace

You must be comfortable and comfortable place where you will be doing. Let it be desk, the illumination on which falls from the right, and not from the left, as it was before. Move the table lamp, and free the left side of the table from unnecessary things, because now your elbow and notebook will be there for work.

3. Prepare the tools for the job

This is a pen and notebook. They should be comfortable and loved so that the desire to use them remains in any case. It is possible that the pen used by the right hand will not suit you for writing with your left hand. It is desirable that the writing paper be lined, i.e. fit notebooks in a ruler and a cage. You can also take it in an oblique ruler, but keep in mind that the slope of the oblique lines is designed for right-handed writing.

4. Make the learning environment comfortable, do not complicate the process itself

If you set yourself too difficult tasks, the training process will not bring you joy and satisfaction, and there is a risk that training will stop sooner than necessary.

5. Drawing with the left hand

To improve the motor skills of the left hand, try drawing with it. Even if it's sketchy. Also, this lesson perfectly develops creative abilities, because the right hemisphere will be active at the same time!

6. In addition to training, improve your skill in life

Use your left hand to write down a phone number, a plan in your diary, an idea. If you don't need to write beautifully or quickly, why not let your left hand do the work?

In addition, let the left hand work in other cases. For example, try brushing your teeth with it, washing dishes, combing your hair, in general, doing the same things that you used to do with your right. Just do not at first trust her with dangerous actions that require accuracy. For example, cutting meat or vegetables with a knife, shaving, sewing with a needle. Let the hand first acquire the necessary dexterity.

WRITING TECHNIQUE

Hold the pen with your left hand at a distance of 3-4 cm from the paper, i.e. higher than usual. The paper should be tilted to the right, with the top left corner higher than the right. Thus, you will be able to see the written text without bending the hand at the wrist. The light, as already mentioned, should fall from the right side.

What exactly to write?

You can use recipes for left-handed people, which you can buy at an office supply store or download from the Internet. And work, as in the first grade, displaying the letters, and later - the words in them. This way is good developing left hand writing skills and beautiful handwriting.

But if you find it boring, don't force yourself! Try writing your thoughts, favorite poems, even excerpts from books in a regular notebook. For adults, this is even more natural than writing out letter after letter in copybook many times.

Hello dear friends!

A person, although he has two hands, still prefers to use only one to perform actions. Of course, most often the right limb becomes the leading limb, but what if the dominant hand is the left?

I think that in childhood you could notice left-handers among your classmates, whom they tried in every possible way to direct on the true path. They stayed with them after the lessons to practice spelling, conducted lectures aimed at rethinking the unique and rather interesting difference from the main mass of kids.

Some items in the house, such as scissors,sharpeners, rulersand even door handles are for right-handers only. In order not to adapt to the oppressive abundance of injustice, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the most effective methods for developing superpowers. right hand for lefties.

By systematically training and devoting enough time to full-fledged activities, an individual can become an ambidexter, that is, a person who has equal control over the upper limbs.

Right hand developmentincludes an integrated approach. But why strive to reverse something in which a person feels comfortable? Actually, The child has who is used to writing with his left hand, there is a risk of acquiring scoliosis or other back problems.

This is because with such a letter, the baby needs to take a pose that allows you to bend the elbow and shoulder joint as much as possible to turn the hand closer to the notebook. Situationleads to the fact that children literally lie on their desks, and constantly monitor the condition of teachers wish does not always occur.

The danger of overlearning

The development of both hands at a young age minimizes the situation of back problems and. After all, alternating hands will help relieve the load from the muscle corset, giving time to relax.

Doctors do not recommend retraining lefties for several reasons. Under the auspices of "right" education, parents will be able to hide only the most visible signs and characteristics levshevsta, but here are the rest of the actions performed by an individual in everyday life and life, all the same about become the prerogative of the beloved hand.

Retraining is dangerous by the occurrence of malfunctions are important X systems of the human body. Serious, tics, delays in physical development or emotional development may develop. P In addition to the above problems, the child may begin to stutter or experience a feeling of colossal tightness, and as a result e this he runs the risk of losing his sense of self and normal.

But there is another violation that can begin its development, thanks to an attempt to retrain the baby. Dyslexia is a disorder that interferes with v develop writing and reading skills. Sometimes it appearscorny bad handwriting, swallowing m words when reading and writing backwards.

Only think about it, in the context of convenience, the whole world already belongs to right-handed people, and here you also need to write with an uncontrolled hand, so that others are happy!

According to experts, it is better to try to develop a small person with the help of a leading hand in drawing or writing. And it also happens that they use the training of the leading leg, for example, in football or other sports.

What is hidden in the right hemisphere

Researchers of the phenomenon have not yet decided on the reasons that provoke the development of left-handedness. Scientists and bright heads of doctors tend to believe that left-handed people are born due to malfunctions of the brain even in the prenatal period. They also rank among the causes and the peculiarity of the birth itself, and the pathology of the brain, and even genetics!

It has been proven that in a left-handed family, according to statistics, in 75% of cases, a left-handed person will also be born. But what is the main difference from right-handedness? responsible for the following list of requests in the brain:

• speech
• analysis
• verbal information
• logics
• reading.

In people whose dominant hand is the right, the left hemisphere dominates, but in left-handed people, where the main bias is:

• intuition
• creative inclinations
• the senses
• visual images.

This means that among lefties there are very often geniuses who are recommended the former themselves as great artists, literary masters or creators of musical works. Among them were Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and even Julius Caesar himself!

But what existeffective exerciseshelping to master the right hand no worse than the left? And what should be emphasized?

Complete communication

What is kinesiology? This is a science that deals with the development of the brain through the prism of movements. It has been familiar to people for more than two hundred years and recommends itself perfectly all over the globe.

Aristotle and Hippocrates usedkinesiology exercises for an integrated development approach and activation of interhemispheric communications in the brain.

What are these workouts for?

• improve quality;
• develop the corpus callosum;
• streamline and synchronize the work of the left and right hemispheres;
• unleash the potential of the cape l tive process;
• improve long-term memory;
• improve writing and reading skills;
• stimulate motor skills.

There is a global variety of kinesiology problems. One of the methods I can call finger training, which is suitable for both adults and children. They are designed for the productive development of the muscles of the right hand for the left-hander and stimulationinterhemispheric influencescerebral cortex.

Exercises

1. "Fist-rib-palm"

To complete this task, you can involve the whole family and enjoy a productive pastime. You need to alternately perform three actions, clearly controlling the movements of your hand:

• stretch your hand palm down, clench it into a fist;
• turn your palm upside down. To do this, turn the brush counterclockwise, spreading your fingers, keeping your thumb pressed against your index finger;
• turn your palm clockwise againto the floor, leaving the fingers extended and tense.

You need to perform actions slowly, gradually increasing the speed of execution. Strive to get closer to automatism, so that there is no confusion between actions.

2. "Flashlights"

The exercise is performed from the starting position of two arms straightened in front of you. At the phrase "Lanterns lit up!" - straighten and tighten your fingers, point your palms down.At the command “The flashlight went out!”, Squeeze the fingers of the left hand strongly, and leave the fingers of the right hand in their original position.

At the command "Flashlight lit up", you need to unclench the fingers of the left hand that were in the fist and squeeze the fingers of the right. That is, you should be able to alternately “ignite” flashlights on command, in the context of an exercise for the fingers.

3. "Hare"

The exercise is designed to generate impulses that help to coordinate the tasks of the hand, comprehending the images. To perform the exercise "Bunny", extend the index and middle finger up, and the ring finger and little finger - press your thumb against each other and palms. Hold this position for a count of 10. The task must be performed first with the fingers of one hand, and then with two at the same time.

To make things worse, I suggest that you stay in the starting position of the Bunny exercise and tap your thumb on your little finger and ring finger. The main thing is not to bend the middle and index fingers.

4. "Rings"

You need to connect your thumb and index finger together so that they form a circle. Straighten the remaining fingers, lift up and press against each other. Hold in this position, counting to 10, and then attach the other hand to the workout.

To complete the exercise, I will offer you to bring the resulting “rings” to your eyes, imitating glasses. To do this, turn your hands over, raising your elbows, and press your fingers tightly to your face.

5. "Chain"

Connect the thumb of the right hand and the index finger, pulling and lifting the rest up. Next, replace the index finger with the middle, ring and little fingers. Perform similar manipulations with the left hand. Simultaneously perform the exercises with both hands, alternately replacing the fingers on each of them.

Complicate the task and try to form "rings" that connect the right and left hands. To do this, take the starting position and penetrate the "ring" from the fingers of the left hand into the "ring" of the right, alternately changing fingers.

6. "Stroke-knock"

Place the palm of your left hand on top of your head. And the palm of the right is on the stomach. Concentrate and try to make rotational actions of the palm Yu right hand, and left - light tapping. The task must be completed at the same time h allowing actions to become identical.

On this I will end today's educational program!

Train your ambidexter abilities and enjoy learning process!

See you on the blog, bye bye!

Most people during their lives train and develop only the right hand, and the left is given only a supporting role. But if our hands are the same, why not try to learn how to perform the same actions with your left hand, and why is this necessary?

The answer to this question lies in the features of the work. human brain. The left hemisphere controls logical thinking, speech, writing and is responsible for the work of the right half of the body, while the right hemisphere is the focus of intuition, creative perception, and coordinates the left half.

According to the observations of art therapists, the drawings made by the left hand are distinguished by extraordinary figurativeness, emotionality and realism. This is typical for artists, and those who have never been involved in drawing. In addition, people who have managed to develop the left hand along with the right, note how their life has changed with the inclusion of intuition in it and the activation of creative perception of reality.

According to one of the theories classical psychology, the human personality is a set of subpersonalities - different internal images: Parent, Adult, Child. The first two are critical, reasonable and rational. They live in the left hemisphere. And the third, the Inner Child, spontaneous, irrational, creative - in the right.

Therefore, the development of the left hand is the establishment of contact with the creative essence of oneself.

By developing the left hand, a person makes the brain work more productively, connecting intuitive, creative channels to logic and rationalism.

There are several effective ways development of the left hand, and regular training will certainly lead you to achieve.

Learn to write with your left hand

This is an exciting, albeit difficult, activity. To be successful in this endeavor, For a person striving for self-development, the goal will be enrichment logical thinking creative potential.

To make training enjoyable, you need to comfortably equip for yourself workplace. Desk lamp is now on the right, and the left side of the table remains free, since there is now a hand and a writing pad.

A stylish pen and a bright notepad with a notebook will create the appropriate emotional mood so that when looking at them there is a desire to work. You will need lined paper for writing, as you will have to learn to write again. The main thing is that the process of writing with the left hand brings joy, otherwise the training will soon get bored and become ineffective.

How to arrange the notebook? To make your hands less tired during work, the upper left corner should be placed slightly higher than the right, and the left elbow should be conveniently placed on the table.

For writing with the left hand, you will need writing utensils longer than usual, since the left-hander holds the pencil a little higher than the right-hander, the distance from the sheet of paper to the grip of the pen is 3-4 cm.

For the development of writing technique, left-handed copybooks will be needed in order to display letters first, and then phrases, as first-graders do. So the technique of writing will develop and develop. If such activities are not to your liking, then you can write down your thoughts or write out your favorite quotes from books, catch phrases.

In the early stages of training, it is better to write block letters, then change to uppercase. You need to start by writing the alphabet. You can also use the technique of tracing text written in pencil with a pen. For fun, the method of mirror writing is suitable. The letter on the contrary, with a turn of letters by 1800, will help to achieve the desired result. So did Leonardo da Vinci, in whom both hands were equally developed. In addition, writing from right to left is natural for left-handed people with a dominant right hemisphere.

To achieve success, you need to practice regularly for several minutes. This will bring more benefits than infrequent but long workouts.

Training is not limited to a specially allotted time for this. The left hand should be loaded at every opportunity. For example, write down phone numbers, prescriptions, and other useful information.

Training the left hand requires a lot of patience, time and effort.

And it is unlikely that you will be able to immediately achieve visible quick results, so on the way to self-development you will have to stock up on patience and endurance. You should not expect a good writing speed at the first stages of training, the quality of writing, that is, a practiced skill, control of a previously naughty left hand, will be more important. The speed of writing will develop in the next stage of work.

Draw with your left hand

Most good way workout. After all, the right hemisphere of the brain develops, where the creative potential is laid. Drawing allows you to better develop the motor skills of the left hand. First you need to put dots on paper, then connect them, make a schematic drawing. It is useful to start synchronous drawing by using both hands, gradually leaving the left hand in the work.

Use your left hand in daily work

Constantly use the left rather than the right hand in everyday situations: brush your teeth, comb your hair, use a fork, spoon and other cutlery. When the skills have not yet been worked out, you can not use sharp objects: a knife, a needle, a straight razor, so as not to injure yourself.

The left hand must be constantly used, bringing the movements to automatism. Do not forget about the goals of developing the left hand, reinforce the work with positive motivation so that the classes do not get bored and bring benefits.

The following tips will help you remember to exercise. For example, write on the palms: "Right", "Left". Performing this or that action, use not the right, but the left hand. Visual memory will definitely work. It is useful to wear a watch not on the left, but on the right hand. An unusual sensation will remind you that everything is now done by the left hand. You can stick stickers with the inscription: "Left" on various household items (door handles, telephone, refrigerator, electric kettle).

Make your left hand stronger

In addition to writing, physical exercises are necessary to train the left hand.

1. Ball exercises. Throw a tennis ball up and catch it with your left hand. After hitting the ball against the wall, catch it with your left hand. It is advisable to use rackets and, as the skill improves, change large ones to small ones. Classes in the gym with a basketball court will help improve the actions of the left hand. Stand to the right of the basketball basket and throw the ball into it with your left hand. Make 10 - 20 throws. In addition, it is useful to learn to dribble as easily with the left hand as with the right. To achieve the result, keep your right hand behind your back.
2. Playing badminton with your left hand will bring tangible results.
3. Weight lifting. It is necessary to shift the power loads from the right hand to the left. For this, manual expanders, dumbbells are suitable. Weight should be increased gradually.
4. Juggling. This is a useful, exciting and spectacular activity that develops dexterity and coordination of movements. You need to juggle three to four balls.
5. . Majority device musical instruments requires both hands to work equally. Yes, you can learn how to play the guitar. Guitarists pay great attention to the development of the fingers of the left hand. For this, a whole system of exercises has been developed. It will be useful to learn how to beat out a drum roll.
6. Swimming lessons. Perfectly develops coordination and, accordingly, the brain. In all types of swimming, both hands are equally involved.
7. Spinning eating. Another good way develop the left hand. For the lesson you will need balls on the ropes. Holding the ends of the ropes with your hands, perform rotational movements.

The list of exercises can be supplemented by anyone who wants to engage in self-development, in accordance with own fantasy and hobbies.

The development of motor skills has a positive effect on the work of the brain, makes the reaction faster, thinking becomes flexible. However, at first, you should not expect a quick result. Available opposite effect. Due to the increased load on the brain, the speed of thinking and concentration slow down significantly, but as soon as the brain adapts, it will begin to work much more efficiently than before.

Skeptics are wondering: is this not a myth? And is it worth the effort? However, scientists have long proven the connection between manual development and brain function. When exposed to reflex points located on the hands, impulses are sent to the central nervous system. Acupressure massage affects internal organs. For example, when massaging the thumb, an increase in brain activity is achieved.

The development of the left hand improves not only brain activity, forcing the “gray cells” to work more actively, but also encourages sports, makes you move more, improve the body. And as a result - the achievement of the next step on the path to self-improvement.

Acquiring the skill of using both hands to the same extent is the development of new thinking, the transition to a qualitatively new level life, enrichment of the logical, rational beginning with creativity and intuition.
