If ever there was a time we could all use a hug, it is now. Between months away from people outside of our own homes and all the nastiness and hate we have watched unfold (and hopefully not participated in), a hug can go a long way toward mending fences and making us all feel better!
A HUG:
- reduces stress.
- reduces pain.
- lowers our blood pressure.
- strengthens the immune system.
- helps heal feelings of loneliness, isolation and anger.
- boosts self-esteem.
- relaxes your muscles.
There are so many benefits, and if you add in a little laughter, there are so many more. So, whether you are only seeing the people in your house, or you have a little bit bigger circle, find someone to hug. And do it at least once a day. You, and the people around you, will be better for it.
