Entry 10

I found it interesting when learning about the 20% rule that Google has with its employees. Apparently they let their employees have 20% of their time to work on whatever their hearts desire.They found that when they gave them freedom, great things were accomplished. They worked on their dreams, and new ideas arose and people were creating new things. I think that it is important dedicate time throughout my week to working on the random things I love to do. Great things will happen for me. I know that when I spend time painting or playing my flute that I feel happier so it must work!
I have been experienceing the Dip that we learned about in a book we read. This Dip is very challenging for me. I have been learning that this Dip for me is very personal rather than about my business per say. For me I am learning that I have slowly been losing my ease at talking to people. I was sitting in the plasma center waiting to donate and I had all of these people sitting around me waiting to donate as well. I realized that I was scared to start a conversation. All I had to say was, "Hey, have you ever heard of Herbalife?" and then I could have talked about my coaching business. But I didn't. I am in a Dip right now. I have been slipping into depression in addition to that and I am struggling being motivated every day to even get my school work done. How do I get out of this Dip?!
Let us hope that Thanksgiving break helps me rejuvenate.  I really do want to get past this Dip because I know that the rewards on the other side are so worth it!
