Do you have 21 seconds?
Small investment, huge dividends! I learned of this about 6 months ago & have giggled with family members as I count as we hug. A 21-second hug promotes stress-reducing hormones, lowers cortisol levels, lowers blood pressure, and boosts heart health & trust. If another human is missing, your arms wrap around your own self with the same benefits. As my dear friend, Lois says, “long hug, long hug,” and as another dear friend, Miranda says, “I won’t let go til you’re ready.” And cheers to my dear friend, Barb, who is known for her spunky hugs!
