One of the greatest gifts we can ever give and receive is a Hug! It provides instant stress relief and releases huge “joy” endorphins. When the right words are sometimes not on the tip of our tongue, a Hug fills that void until words can follow.
No matter what country or what language is spoken, a Hug means the same thing anywhere and everywhere. People hug every second of every day, everywhere in the world. Too open up your arms to someone is like opening up your heart. A Hug can say “I like you”, “Glad to see you” or “Sorry to see you go”. A hug can cheer you up when you are down or congratulate you when you succeed.
Hugging is great medicine. It transfers positive energy from one person to another and provides an instant emotional boost. The greatest thing about a hug is that you usually cannot give one without getting one in return.
Hugging is healthy. It helps the body’s immune system and keeps you healthy. It reduces depression and pain, it induces sleep, it is invigorating and rejuvenating and it has no unpleasant side effects.
Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug! It has also been known to improve health conditions in the ill as it provides more hope and positive mental balance.
Hugs make happy days even happier and challenging days much better. Hug someone today and see how great it feels. The receiver will also reap huge benefits too! And, hopefully pay it forward!
