I heard an unusual piece of information that says
Training the non-dominant hand can be an effective way to stimulate the brain and enhance motor skills.Using your non-dominant hand also helps you express your emotions more deeply, as it allows you to think about them more clearly.
This information is actually strange, because we often want to try something new to stimulate our brains, but most activities turn out to be difficult and complicated.
So most of the time, we end up doing nothing, even though something as simple as using the hand we’re not used to can be new, useful, and even funny. For example, I have good handwriting, but when I try to write with my other hand, the handwriting definitely looks strange.
So, what exactly does this benefit us in?
1-It helps improve communication and coordination between the two hemispheres of the brain.
2-It contributes to enhancing brain flexibility and adaptability.
3-It helps improve fine motor skills and better control of movements.
For me, the most important thing is to improve focus, so I will definitely try something like this. There are also advanced and modern solutions for focus called IV drip.
So, what steps can I start with?
There are 3 levels if you want to take this as a personal challenge.
Beginner Level:
- Writing: Start by writing a few sentences daily with your non-dominant hand.
