Sometimes when we are having a terrible day, all we need is a hug to restore our sense of peace. There is something about being wrapped in the arms of a loved one that makes us feel safe and secure. It doesn’t matter if that person is a parent, a partner or a friend, the restorative power of a hug heals us.
Hugs are even beneficial to our physical health! According to Greater Good Magazine, hugs release oxytocin and dopamine, which helps to slow our heart rate, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and boost our immune system.
