9 / 365 Use
Both Hands
An
idle brain is the devil's workshop.
English Proverb
A
few days ago, I suggested left-hand writing as a brain gym exercise. A quick
response from a reader that these days we don’t write, but only type! This is
good news in fact. Over a period of time, we have become predominantly
one-handed. In some cultures, it is a taboo to use the left hand and the left
leg. The idea behind the ‘other hand writing’ of the brain gym is to integrate
the right and the left hemispheres of the brain by using both hands.
I
suggest that you should indulge in any activity, which uses both the hands.
When writing we are using only one hand. While typing we use both the hands and
thus typing itself is a brain gym exercise! In addition, you can do other
activities such as swimming, cooking, playing a stringed or percussion
instrument, rowing and yoga, in which you have to use both hands.
Today,
pick up an activity which will involve using both hands. Why don’t you start
cooking? You will be earning a double benefit!
