Birthday Hugs: 5 hugs a day keeps the doctor away

hugs

Here’s something interesting I found:

“A study has shown that giving five people hugs each day can boost happiness level 25% higher. Holding each hug for at least six seconds is most effective. This boosts your production of oxytocin, reducing anxiety & strengthening connection w/others.”

Isn’t that interesting? No wonder I love hugs. I love hugs and charities. So for my 27th birthday, I thought it’d be fun to ask my friends to give to their favourite charity or give a BIG HUG to as many people as possible!

I picked a random winner to someone who left a comment on the 25th, and sent them an iPod shuffle.

Time for more HUGS! =)

Happy hugging!

Brice
