free hugs day
Research has proven that we need four hugs a day for survival, eight hugs a day for maintenance, and twelve hugs a day for growth! Hugs produce a chemical change in the body by stimulating the release of endorphins in the brain. These endorphins give us a sense of well-being and happiness and can remain in the body’s bloodstream for up to four hours. Hugs matter a lot more than we give them credit.
A brave man set out to give “Free Hugs” and learned a lot about our humanity and why this is such an important part of being human! You should watch the video on his site, it’s pretty moving: http://www.freehugscampaign.org - there’s also help on how to start your own Free Hug day in your city.
