I love the Summer! But let’s be fair! Who doesn’t? Good weather, holidays, beach, short clothes and … You know…Diet!!! So lets give coconut a shot.

A lot of talk is surrounding these days the benefits of coconut, people are consuming more and more coconut in several ways, milk coconut, oil coconut, coconut water, raw coconut. This fruit became so famous that there benefits became really confusing! And people start question. Its healthy or just marketing.

Lets put it clear! There are no magic fruits that will put you skinny just because you eat it all day (in fact this will just make you ill) or protect you against any disease. The secret is know deep what are there benefits and together with other foods have a healthy and balanced diet. Is never late to remember about the food pyramidthat suffered some changes since we were at school.

So what are the benefits of eating coconuts ingredients (together with a balanced diet).

The coconut  water is full of electrolytes, you know this are those guys that keep your body hydrated. This is the best for a post workout (better than those sugar energy drinks) drink you can have it because it will hydrate your body giving the muscles and nerves the water they need (can work on hangovers :p).

The oil is where the confusion starts! The coconut oil is full of fat,and that we know, but there are two kinds, the hydrogenated and extra-virgin coconut oil, you want to stay away from the first one. Although the coconut oil is a saturated fat it has a 50% of lauric acid that our body converts into a monolaurin which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-protozoa properties.

The coconut derivates also can improve your secretion of insulin, improves your digestion, improves good cholesterol (HDL), restore and supports thyroid function and help your skin and hair look healthier.

“Oh dream-maker, you heart-breaker, wherever you’re going, I’m going your way” 

To me, dream is such a beautiful concept. It keeps me going everyday, and breathes life into the future that I can hardly anticipate. My dream is big. It not only clouds my days with joy and ecstasy, but also a thousand fears. The closer I get to it, the more fearful I get. But believe it or not, with fears comes courage. In the pursuit of my dream, I have overcome so many fears that gradually, I’ve gotten more courageous. Undoubtedly, a lot of bumps and holes awaits me on the road ahead. But never will I give up, simply because I’m fortunate enough to have all the muses to push me forward.

 “Have you ever thought of given up?”.

You know, maybe I am doing something right, something that others can relate themselves to, something that they believe in.

“Everything you are used to, once done long enough, starts to seem natural, even though it might not be.”

There will always be a question in my head, that makes me open my eyes everyday and realize that somethings happening, that I am still alive and things that happened do not make me complete anymore, even that makes me realize that I don’t live in past anymore, and so-

Why is it so hard to let your old habits die?

Let’s be honest with each other. If we are doing something in regular basis, there is like 100% security that after something fucks up, you won’t be very eager to let it go just like that. The Great Gate of Habits is something that stands here for such a long time without us knowing it’s even here. It is closed like the gates of Azkaban from Harry Potters series, and no one’s leaving until he somehow escapes. Well, this is it, the habits sometimes escape The habit gate and leave you. You are trying to find it, you are looking everywhere and yes, there are times when you find them, but also that you won’t find them at all. Let’s say anymore.

There are habits that makes us feel alive, that makes us continue in our life, that makes us feel the joy, that makes us be passionate about something, that makes us feel that you are finally part of something that makes sense. Those habits that are not toxic and gives you the opportunity to be creative (or not creative at all), full of expectations and happiness. Only particular habits make you realize why the life is so good and precious, that you have some path to continue on, to have some freaking purpose.Those you really don’t want to lose all of this, I am sure.

There are also habits that you intentionally produce and not even realizing how toxic are for you, make your life miserable, those which are wrong on so many levels, that much it all makes you realize that you are again falling into that dark world- but still, you chose it! You are the one who let it come back into your life, you are the one torturing yourself with all those things that you will never see again, but you’ll also never change them. I am not just talking about smoking or drinking but about thoughts that surprise you in the worst minute of your day.

We, as  human beings, are trying to get rid of those bad habits and replace them with those which makes us feel something. I am not saying that people are successful every single time, but you know what? They are at least trying, they are not sitting in their sad flats, pitying themselves all day. They grab the opportunity and they lead the crowd to the better mood of tomorrow.

Yes, there are times when even the happiest people doubt the happy period because happiness is so fragile and it can break any minute. They are afraid of losing it, that’s why are they still going back there sometimes to remind themselves that yes, it was a bad period of my life, but it always can be worse. I just decided that-

“I am not losing my sleep over something that won’t give me anything for the future.”

No one’s saying it’s like that,but that’s how it’s supposed to be. Am I right?

So let me take this umbrella and simply leave it all here.

In 2014, a research paper by Lehmann-Willenbrock & Allen was written with the focus to theorize the function and effects of humor in team interaction settings. This shows that there was an understanding that humor enhances creativity and improves job performances in this modern world.

This is a new concept, especially in an uptight Asian work culture. In the older days, employees are divided by hierarchy and breaking the communication walls seemed almost disrespectful, but now in the modern business environment, our younger workforce are looking at each other as equal colleagues and this has helped improve the communication barrier. Respect is something earned through teamwork and results and not just from the age gap. One way to iron out the crinkles (pun not intended) is through humor.

In all seriousness, a business can be mixed with a little pleasure and laughter. It has been proven to trigger positive socio-emotional communication, procedural structure and solutions. In a workplace environment, humor is also positively related to team performance, interactions and satisfaction.

“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.” – Horace.

Here are 9 tips about humor in workplace:

1. Use humor to uplift people. Do not use it to single any one person out or bring anyone down.


2. Use humor to break the ice and make yourself approachable for your colleagues to be comfortable in sharing with you. They will be more willing to open up to you about problems, ideas, and solutions.


3. Know your audience. Sometimes pranks or gags can be funny, but only if the other party is on the same wavelength as you.


4. Laughter is universal. Humor can be a common ground for cultural differences but do research on what are acceptable jokes in one culture and what is not.


5. Do not confuse being a comedian with your job. Professionalism is still the priority.


6. Do not be an ass. Racial, sexist, political, sarcastic or discriminatory jokes are not acceptable in any situation. Putting them in a joke does not make them okay.


7. Do not force it. Trying too hard will only make things awkward. Take it easy. Humor is best when natural.


8. Be confident. Own your joke. Even if it did not work the first time, do not doubt or being yourself down. The whole point of humor at the workplace is to bring positivity and it should start with you.


9. Let loose. Sometimes it is not about cracking jokes. Learn to enjoy yourself. Maybe dance in the elevator when no one is looking. Do an air guitar when you close a huge account. You spend too much time at work to not live a little.
