Go Lefty (or Righty)

You don’t have to become ambidextrous, but challenging the brain by switching to your non-dominant hand can help it to grow. You may feel silly at first, and your writing might look like chicken scratch, but over time you might find that you become quite adept at using your other hand, and in the meantime your brain as overcome a challenge and learned something new.
