Some people love them, some hate them, while others don't care either way. Some call them snuggles, some call the hugs, while others call it inappropriate touching. After all there are some people who can not tolerate being touched by anyone, minimum touching is perfect for them. All of these things are true, and each are perfectly alright. No judgement, none at all.
I love hugs, sometimes. With my illness sometimes a hug really hurt me, it is extremely painful, but I don't tell the person hugging me. When I do they always feel bad, so I keep it to myself. I also enjoy snuggling. I will snuggle with My Love, I will snuggle with my daughters, but most importantly I snuggle with my black and white tuxedo cat. There is a therapeutic component to hugging. It reduces stress, plus there is the added bonus of feeling loved and close to someone.
When your feeling blue, or even happy hug someone. I know that during one of my therapy sessions the suggestion of rubbing my forearm to calm myself down when I feel anxious, was extremely helpful. It concentrates your focus on rubbing the forearm, while self-soothing. Two for one! I;ll take that any day.
So today, seek out and hug someone. Show them love; give it, receive it. It will make you day less hectic.
Smile, laugh, love, enjoy and always strive for happy.
