Hi all,

I don't know why but just recently I had this thing that I should use my left hand more.

I was wondering whether anyone has some information between the links of using left hands or left legs for soccer and brain activity/function or any psychological effects.

The reason why I am so curious is all the genius's I used to admire are all left handed or left footed. Eg. Leonardo da vinci, Harry Kewell, Lionel Messi, Maradona.

For this I have reason to believe that using the left hand or left foot increases coordination of the whole body.

What do you guys think ?

I sometimes do certain activities with only my left hand, even though I am right-handed and my left hand is somewhat less coordinated.

Little things like brushing my teeth or stirring a pot with only my left hand are pretty easy to do, and it helps to stimulate under-used areas of the brain.

It's good to forced yourself out of routine and do things differently every once in a while.

I've read that being ambidextrous it's like using both hemispheres at once since every hand is controlled by a different part of the brain, so doing things with the 'other' hand increase hemisphere balance.
For this purpose I also do something only with my left hand like brushing teeth, or writing, or sometimes I also played with doing a specular drawing with both hands at the same time. This turned out to be very interesting since very particular and sometimes significant shapes came from my subconscious while drawing randomly... also good for creativity!
Another very good game for stress release and hemisphere balance is juggling, I love it!

Thats nice to hear.

I guess the only way to find out is to try it myself. Now I'll try to keep a conscious mind on using my left hand on anything that i can.
