I cannot navigate by right and left, they change depending on which way you are facing. Have messed this up more times than I want to admit on one way roads. Also can't read maps unless I stand facing north. The cell phone orienting the map so that the way I am facing is up on the screen has been life changing for me.

East, West, North and South, they stay put while I move around in them. Left and Right I can do but have to think about it. Every dance instructor or yoga teacher I've had had given up and started giving directions like "toward the mirror", "toward the door", "toward the street".

I usually use countries location to remember what they mean. The USA is a western country and China is an eastern country. West is left and east is right. Easy.

Presumably, you know which way the sun comes up and goes down, so you really should know which way the cardinal directions are. You have an excuse if it’s night and you’re in an unfamiliar place.
