Write with your non-dominant hand
Por qué este hábito ayuda
Novelty forces the brain out of autopilot, creating space for unconventional thoughts and reduced self-criticism.
The slower pace mimics therapeutic techniques like bilateral stimulation used in trauma processing.
Lo que harás en 1 minuto
- Slows thinking to process emotions
- Often reveals subconscious thoughts
- Exercises neural pathways
- Makes writing playful
- Reduces perfectionism
Resumen rápido
Art therapists use non-dominant hand writing to access the non-verbal right brain. The clumsiness bypasses inner critics.
Unlike typing, this engages motor cortex connections that tap into deeper memory networks.
Lo que dice la ciencia
Cómo empezar ahora mismo
- Grab pen and paper (no keyboards—this is tactile).
- Write a simple phrase like 'Today feels...' with your off-hand.
- Embrace the childlike scrawl—perfection isn't the goal.
- Notice if emotions arise differently than usual.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
My non-dominant journal entries are hilariously messy but surprisingly honest. Things like 'I’m tired of pretending' emerged that my polished handwriting would never allow. Now I use it for raw first drafts.
