Will switching hands something impove my mental abilities?

I'm right handed. If I begin to use my left hand for eating and other stuff sometimes, will this help me somehow in respect to imagination, creativity and what-not?

would a simple yes or no answer your question?

Why do you correlate creativity and imagination with becoming ambidextrous?

I am not sureeeee but with a quick thinking on the subject I think because you are right handed,  your left brain hemisphere is involved. 

Trying to do things with your left hand, since you are not used to it, simulate an exercise for the right hemisphere. Right hemisphere in the brain is known for creative thinking ... 

So yes! It may effect creativity and imagination!

also look into embodied cognition. the type of thing going on when people get botox and cant move certain muscles in their face affecting their emotional states. A feedback loop that I imagine would have some application with laterality
