text: how do you become ambidextrous?   ambidextrous which means they are not right handed or left handed but will use either hand for a task.   most ambidextrous people are born that way. the lucky ones have the ability to use both sides of the brain smoothly and can function as well as or better than right handed or left handed folk.  me i'm one of the unlucky ambidextrous people. i am clumsy, uncoordinated and have speech problems. when dining next to a right handed person i eat right handed but when next to a left handed person i eat left handed  but when sitting with either sort i often  knock things over when i reach out for my coffee cup with the other hand. i also trip myself because of mixing up which foot is going to step out first.  to become ambidextrous  stop using the hand you normally use for things and use the other.
