HUGS:
Hugs are powerful expressions of affection that nurture us from the moment we are born. Research has proven that hugs have a profound impact on our well-being, making us happier, healthier, and more resilient. They transcend romantic intimacy, symbolizing security, emotional support, love, and friendship.
This post will delve into the significance of THE BEAR (tight) HUG and THE ONE SIDED HUG. BEAR HUG: This gesture radiates warmth, security, sympathy, and love, enveloping us in a sense of comfort and reassurance.
ONE SIDED HUG: In this beautiful display of emotional support, one person gives and the other receives, conveying a powerful message of solidarity and reassurance.
Hugs have a multitude of unseen benefits, including lower levels of depression, improved heart health, reduced fears and pain, and diminished stress. They also facilitate communication with others beyond words. The renowned family therapist Virginia Satir once emphasized, 'We need four hugs for survival. We need eight hugs for maintenance.'
Are you feeling hug deficient now? Do something about it today. Hug your parents, spouse, children, neighbor, colleagues at work, school mates, and everyone in between. Share a kind word with a stranger who looks like they're in need of a friend and offer a hug of support and hope. Remember, a hug benefits both the giver and receiver. I am sending virtual hugs to you all. Stay blessed and have a 'HUGful' weekend. 😆 🤣 😂
I come in love always.
