Hug is the Drug

Hug is THE drug

I’ll keep this post short and sweet.

Want to lift your mood instantly?

Give someone you care for a warm hug!

Want to lower your blood pressure?

Give someone you care for a warm hug!

Want to boost your oxytocin levels?

Give someone you care for a warm hug!

Want to cut down your cortisol levels?

Give someone you care for a warm hug!

Want to supercharge your immune system?

Give someone you care for a warm hug!

Want to feel safe and supported?

Give someone you care for a warm hug!

Even if there is no-one else around, there is always ….YOU!

So, go ahead and wrap yourself in a big self-hug!

Just put your arms around (you) with softness, warmth, gentleness and intent and make the hug last for 20 seconds for the felt experience to register deep in your core.

Let those warm, fuzzy feelings happily rush down your spine!

And if 20 seconds feels too long or uncomfortable for starters, then start small.

Give a 6-second hug and gradually build your way up!

Savour the experience.

You won't regret it!

You’ve got this. Trust yourself. I trust you!
