Hugging and being touched is fine

And to be honest, nothing is more wonderful than hugging into the arms of someone you love 💑
But sometimes there is no one around who can put an arm around you if you need it
Then it is good to know that you can give yourself that big hug no matter where you are
And you do not have to wait until you need a reason for it
So why won't give yourself a daily healing hug?

• By hugging yourself, a chemical oxytocin is released in your brain 🧠, It creates a feeling of happiness, You will be happier 😍
• If you embrace yourself, the stress hormone cortisol in your body is reduced 🧘🏽‍♀
• Hugging helps you to heal your heart 💜
• An embrace helps you to deal with grief 😥
• Hugging yourself helps you to reduce tension in your upper back
• You take a quieter and deeper breathing
• You strengthen your immune system in this way 🤧
• It also helps you to recharge when you are tired 🔋
• By hugging yourself you come into the here and now
• Hugging yourself ensures that you accept yourself as you are
