Neuroeconomist Paul Zak recommends at least eight hugs a day to be happier and enjoy better relationships. Psychotherapist Virginia Satir said: “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. ... This makes sense since hugging is known to lower levels of stress hormones like cortisol.” #MakeHugsPartOfYourDay #HugAFriend #TheHealthofHugs #MentalHealth #MentalWellBeing #SpiritualHealth #SpiritualWellBeing #EmotionalHealth #EmotionalWellBeing #PhysicalHealth #PhysicalWellBeing #TwelveHugsADay https://www.instagram.com/p/B4DNF2kl4GbJTvkhJrmMth14bw6Ooqn14RwZTM0/?igshid=gocl1oy87ztx

“Find Your Smile” It’s been a while since I posted on Instagram. The struggle with my health continues to challenge me daily and more bad moments than good over last few months. This photo reminds me to find the happy moments in the little things of life and be grateful for my blessings. So many others in my circle are suffering more than I and trying to discover their new “normal” can be difficult as our bodies betray our minds. Reach out to your tribe - often - and let them know you care. The value of a supportive team can’t be overstated during times of dire need albeit physical or mental. Many times, a warm hug is needed to melt the jaded heart and let the sunshine come into the darkness.

FYI - this is not for sympathy. It is merely as a PSA. Sometimes the happiest of people are not the happiest of souls. They are just better at covering their tears. #ThinkBeforeYouSpeak #HugAFriend ❤
