3 Reasons Why You Need to Give More Hugs

It's time to share the love! It's so important to regularly show appreciation and kindness to the people you love. And, one of the best ways to do this is by giving them an intentional and loving hug.

Here are a few reasons why you need to give more hugs: 

1. Oxytocin. Oxytocin is said to be released into the body when you give and/or receive a hug (Colino, Stacy). One of the benefits of an increase in oxytocin is a decrease in stress hormones. So, by giving a hug, you're really de-stressing your friends and family! 

2. Hello and Goodbye. Giving a hug is one of the best ways to say hello or goodbye. Have you ever been so happy to see someone, you run over to them, give them a hug, and, simply put, just feel good? Science confirms people absorb energy from others. So, spread your love and light by starting your hellos and ending your goodbyes with a hug. 

3. Uplifting. Hugs help people get through bad days. Giving a hug is a way of giving the special people in your life some comfort. After a long day, or after dealing with an unfavourable situation, it is often refreshing to receive a hug from someone you love.
