NATIONAL HUGGING DAY – January 21
Sat Jan 21st

National Hugging Day

National Hug Day, or National Hugging Day, is officially recognized by the United States Copyright Office on January 21st and is not a public holiday.

The day is designed to encourage people to express more emotion in public. The only way to commemorate the day is by giving a hug to anyone and everyone you like. Although National Hug Day and the Free Hugs Campaign have many common traits, there is no link between the two organizations.

Whether you hug a family member or a stranger, the emotional and physical health benefits are the same. Our sleep is improved from the day we are born, hugs or touch can improve our sleep. Hugging, similar to cuddling, releases oxytocin.. This hormone, on its own, provides a host of health benefits. Not only does it boosts feel-good hormones, but it also reduces pain.. Receiving a hug helps reduce anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart disease. It also reduces stress.

Give someone a big hug. Ask for a hug and reap the benefits, or, if you need one, ask for a hug and reap the benefits. You may also give a mental hug. Send warm, cheerful words of encouragement to those in your circle to let someone know you care by giving warm, positive words of support to those in your circle. Boost your children's happiness by showing how much they mean to you with a verbal hug until they can give them the true one..
