“I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.”

— Ann Hood

Rethinking our behaviors can impact a positive outcome with others.

Although a hug seems simple, it’s not everyone’s love language. Do you have someone in your life with whom you wish to share a hug, but they have expressed not liking to be touched?

Chances are they still want a hug; they just don’t like unnecessary touch in general.

Hugs release oxytocin which is often called the “love hormone,” and it’s released through hugging. It’s the reason hugging feels so good for some of us.

Perhaps a conversation about hugging is necessary to strengthen your relationship? Do you need to hug someone today like there is no tomorrow?
