Celebrate the day by hugging friends and family members, or even strangers after letting them know about the day, and asking them if it is okay if you hug them. You could also substitute handshakes for hugs today. There are five main types of hugs you could use: the front hug, bear hug, cheek hug, side to side hug, and heart centered hug. You could also spend the day creating a hug chain with as many people as you can gather together. Hugging has many benefits. It releases oxytocin, which is a hormone associated with happiness. Similarly, it lowers cortisol levels, which alleviates stress and helps lower the heart rate. It also stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates the production of white blood cells and helps keep you healthy. Those are all good reasons to spend the day hugging!
