When I was watching training dvd, my brain couldn't convert the right hand filing to left hand filing. So I set a mirror up and watched the telly through the mirror. Voila the lady on the dvd is now left handed and it all made sense. With a potatoe peeler I peel away from me and it works. Write with a fountain pen = smudge. Write on a white board = wipe it all out. Write on a piece of paper with no lines = it all slopes down hill and I run out of room half way through a sentence at the bottom of the page. But I can't iron left handed? Do you think they dropped me when I was born?

Good educators should be able to do their own nails therefore when teaching I always ask if any students are left handed and I automatically show them techniques with my ‘wrong’ hand.

As with everything practice practice practice

Love the mirror idea for DVDs thanks for sharing

I'm left handed and I've never had a problem with any treatments. I think left-handed people just learn to adapt what they do to suit them, so most of us can do things with both hands, whereas a lot of right handed people can only use their right hand. I think that gives us lefties a real advantage!
I can do most things with either hand. Except writing and hand sewing.

I went to a ridiculous boarding school where they made you sit on your left hand if you showed even the slightest leftie tendency. It wasn't until I studied Latin O level that I realised why they did this. The Latin for "left" is "sinistra"; they believed the devil is in the left hand. I ask you!
Anyway, as a result of this nonsense I'm now mixed handed. I'm by no means ambidextrous, but I swap hands readily.
