We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth... as the saying goes!Reaching out and touching someone, and holding him tight — is a way of saying you care. Its effects are immediate for both, as the hugger and the person being hugged, feel good. A hug is a spontaneous expression of affection and caring, specially between friends.Hugs are loaded with benefits. It helps our body's immune system, it keeps you healthier, it cures depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it's invigorating, it's rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects, and hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. And it is the best friendship gift that one can have. Like I stated in my previous post that friendship can be a comforting hug. No words are need, when a friend is hugging you. Everything is said and understood when you stand in the circle of your friend's arms. I know it is not an easy habit, specially if you are not a very demonstrative person yourself, but I think that it is good to cultivate this kind of habit. You never know when you would need a hug!
