It can be hard to find time for yourself and find some activities to relax your mind and feed your soul. It’s important to find balance in your life between your right brain and your left brain to keep you sane because, “the right brain keeps us in the present, while the left analyzes the past and plans for the future” (Link). Finding a balance between poetry and engineering has been mutually beneficial to my personal life and my career.
Exploring your left and right brain is important in the process of getting to know yourself and it truly can help you find a balance between your professional work life and your personal mind. I was able to improve my business development and engineering skills through my work with poetry, by becoming more aware of the present moment, growing my empathy for others and allowing time for self-reflection.

As many people know, the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and the left brain the right side. Although the two sides are similar, there are some small differences in anatomy and their functions are slightly different. Improving your left brain right brain balance will help you figure out how to synchronize your two hemispheres to benefit from the full potential of a Whole Brain State or Brain Balancing. Our left brain is the reasonable and logical side where we control time or try to have an objective overview, while our right side is what we use to process our emotions and keep up present while subjectively talking.
Finding this balance between the two is important to help develop personal relationships and professional relationships. As an engineer who is also a poet, my work with poetry has helped me develop my relationship skills, writing skills, made me a better business partner, and improved my personal and professional relationships. Additionally, this helps improve my mindfulness in the day-to-day (Link).
As you work through your professional life, make sure that you are finding a balance between your work and doing something that fuels your motivation and brings you happiness. It’s important to get find this balance for the sake of your career development, personal relationships, and mindset. If you can’t find something you love, try out new things until you find the one that brings passion, motivation, and focus back into your life. You may find a part of yourself that has been missing for a long time. What is your perfect balance?
