Hugs that last over twenty seconds, release a chemical in your body called “Oxytocin”, which makes you trust the person you’re hugging more.

“We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth” - Virginia Satir, family therapist

Hugging someone is a way of showing that we care, and for both the hugged and hugger, it feels good. When growing up, we are very sensitive to touch. We recognize our parents initially through sense of touch.

Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter that acts like a hormone and helps promote trust. It’s released in the body when we feel safe. This could be through breast-feeding (when we’re little), holding hands, snuggling, dancing with someone, during a massage or body work out or things that generally make us feel at ease. Hugging is definitely one of the things that make us release oxytocin.

creativemornings:

This May, Seth Godin swept the audience off their feet earlier this month as he spoke on the monthly theme, “Backwards,” about a few things that we have backwards in terms of the work we do versus the work we’d like to be doing. An excellent watch for anyone with goals, ambitions, hopes, or dreams and is wondering how to pursue them.

And once you’re done consuming that, check out the Q&A, which is just riddled with truth bombs that will leave you beyond inspired to take on the world.

The event was hosted by The New School as part of Parsons Festival 2013. Big high five goes out to Ben Hallman for filming and editing, and that tongue-in-cheek intro perfectly aligned with the theme.

Inspiring.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross (via onlinecounsellingcollege)
