Recently, we read somewhere that it takes 12 hugs a day to truly connect with someone. We also heard that you should have 5 major points of contact with your loved one throughout every day. You should really embrace for 5 minutes at a time twice a day. These findings would definitely be properly cited if we weren't dogs...for now, you'll have to take our bark for it. How about for just a week, maybe just for a day, you try to do those three things above, 12 hugs, 2 of them lasting 5 minutes, one in the morning and one in the evening and then checking in 3 other times a day?
Instead of doing this with someone else, try it out on yourself. Lie still in the morning and embrace yourself - all of who and what you are for 5 minutes. Give 10 other squeezes throughout the day, then save one for right before you go to bed, to again embrace your "existence." Check in 3 times throughout the day and ask yourself how you are, how's your day, what's your mood? Tell yourself how important you are and that you love you.
It's wonderful to be connected to someone special - let's let that person be YOU!
