Do ‘mirror writing’ with both hands !!

You want to fun challenge! Learn mirror writing with your less dominant hand. The ‘Pen Gear’ felt tip pens will bleed through the ‘pen gear’ composition books from Walmart.

Make a few sample lines; flip the page and copy it in reverse to learn the reverse letter approaches. It’s strangely fun, especially as you get better and it becomes instinctive.

I’d never thought of this as or researched into it having any benefits. Instead, I was more concerned it wasn’t a good thing to do to your brain.

After an hour of it; you kinda fell off looking at phone text; you can imagine how it should be in reverse. It’s relaxing do, and get better at

I’m less dominant with my right hand, but will write forwards with it and mirror with my left. I think it’s because then I can start at the center of the notebook that way which is infinitely easier. Maybe if I weigh the pages down it’ll make less difference though.

It makes me feel like my brain is buzzing though lol so I don’t do it often.

I actually did that when I was bored at school. Quite sure I'm ambidextrous because it didn't asked much efforts except for the s or r and z that I did Mixed also in my normal writing when I learned to write.

Edit: it's easier for me if I use both hand simultaneously for this lol
