Love this article on Hugs! Strive for 8 a day for better health!
I heard that we need a daily quotient of hugs: 4 hugs a day for survival and 8 for better health. WOW…I live alone, and am single, I am thinking that I rarely get 4 hugs a day. I hug clients if they initiate or request a hug. I am getting quality comfort oriented touch. I get regular massages–generally two a month, and occasional acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. It makes me wonder now, when I volunteer I often come home feeling connected to community–I will ponder this: are my warm gooey feelings from the meetings where someone hugs me?
Here is the article. I love what it says! Enjoy and Hug On! Let’s increase our hug ratio.
