Speaking as the student-most-in-need-of-improvement I can catagorically state that flatulence levels are at an all time low.

Stability may be attained without losing yourself to the darkside! (not to degrade resolutions but...)
Just juggle heavy stuff in the weak hand (ideally a two-in-one-hand thing) using your good hand minimally or not at all so it doesn't strengthen at the same pace, thus balancing it out.

My sister got me these 1 lb juggling balls for Xmas (I don't know whence) and after using them a good bit, I'm finding that normally weighted balls fly effortlessly, or so it seems by comparison.

That's just my preference, but adopt your own style for the adaptation process, and I suppose being ambidextrous would be pretty neat anyways.

I have always been "undecided" : I am right handed but I play tennis, shoot and do other things (such as grabbing my seat handle) with my left hand.
then I broke my right wrist (uni UPD) and was obliged to learn to write with my left hand: my father says that my writing is better with my left hand. now I constantly use my left hand with my mouse. after all I am right handed but I venture to "the other side".
resolution for 2011: keep it cool, try to find a new job, enjoy ... (but after all I do not need resolutions: it comes naturally)

@preastigiator: "Pilas et fustes per aero iacio quod praestigiator sum" isn't it "pila" (pilum plural) and btw "pilum" is a spear. (other problem with "iacio" ... it's a"j")
