So were you lucky enough to have experienced a HUG today?
Hugs, cuddles, human touch is so soothing to our nervous system. It literally switches on the CALM mode.
There is a science behind touch, especially hugging. It releases oxytocin, the love hormone, to help us feel connected, comforted and safe in that persons company.
We cant remember, but being held by our mother nursed and cared for, was sublime for us as babies. Our mothers were our everything. So that same feeling carries through in life.
This year one of my personal goals is that I really would love to feel more hugs, more connection and that real sense of love, from one human being to another.
How about you?
I know covid did us out of lots of hugs, but we can change that now and we can embrace the HUG, however, best check if the person you want to hug, is ok with hugging first.
Not everyone likes touch.
If you can hug someone today and you get the chance to hug it out.... do it! Spread some love and happy hormones xx
