like many others of my generation, I am the daughter of two lefties, but was forcibly trained out of it in school, so I write with my right hand but do nearly everything else left handed. It confuses my trainer who always wants me to start on the right side but perhaps he is dominantly right because he is a former Marine. As I get older, my handwriting deteriates more and more, so my children suggested that I revert to writing with my left hand. I tried that and it didn't work at all so now I am illegible in both hands.

One tip I read years ago said one way to keep your brain flexible is to do activities you normally do with your right hand, with your left. I tried reversing everything but nearly stabbed myself to death in the gums so I think I need to rethink that one.
