It's hard to hug yourself

It's hard to hug yourself
... it's also not very satisfying ... ;o7.
Today, January 21st, is #NationalHugDay (it also happens to be #SquirrelAppreciationDay ... ). Make it easier on your friends, family––and complete strangers––by giving them a hug, so they don't have to do it themselves. ;o))))

Benefits Of Hugging
"Humans are social creatures and as a result hugging offers a myriad of mental and physical benefits to people, as now science is beginning to discover. For instance, hugging can boost oxytocin and serotonin levels, boost self esteem and improve mental health. Hugging has also been shown to improve cardiac health, lower blood pressure and increase relaxation levels in both participants.

"Hugging is also an important part of relationships. Partners who hug on a regular basis are more bonded and trust each other more than those who don’t frequently touch. There is also a link between partners who frequently hug and the longevity of their marriages. Couples who frequently touch each other tend to have longer and happier marriages than those who don’t.

"The best way, as well as the most common way, to celebrate this holiday is give your friends, family or complete strangers a great big hug. It doesn’t matter who you hug on this day, the benefits you receive from hugging is the same."
