We are social creatures and need physical contact. The act of hugging has a vast array of benefits to your physical, emotional and spiritual health, such as:
- Lowering blood pressure and risk of heart disease
- Boosting your immune system
- Relaxing muscles
- Balancing the nervous system
- Reducing stress and depression
- Creating a bond
- Building a sense of safety
- Boosting energy levels
- Elevating mood and self-esteem
- Showing appreciation
- Making you happier
This is by no means a completed list. The benefits go on and on, so from today, hug a minimum of three people per day. The hug should ideally be between 12- 20 seconds, but if this is too much to begin with, then hug for a shorter duration. Do whatever you are comfortable with but make sure you hug.
