Why God Made Hugs

I love advocating the healthy effect of HUGS in our own wellness...I always include the infamous "free hug" exercise in my wellness sessions and I'm a firm believer of the advocacy and the theory of the famous Virginia Satir. Social scientist, Dr. Virginia Satir, says that four hugs a day will help you survive the blues but a dozen is better. After speaking in the annual meeting of the American Orthopsychiatric Association, she said that more hugs would make people happier. She said that four daily hugs are necessary for survival, eight are good for maintenance, & twelve for growth. Its seem difficult to understand but mind you--the effect is magnificient! I always believe that the world has become colder--everyone is now busy making money--proving their worth in their respective careers---but forgetting the beauty of affection and what it brings to our over-all health and wellness. Affection is a nice feeling & has a wonderful way of lifting one's spirit & brightening one's day. It's so encouraging & uplifting. A little affection can say so much & go a long way---little hugs communicates love! So--have you hugged someone today?
