Give Yourself a Hug

When you're feeling down and frustrated, it's quite normal to turn to the people in your life for emotional and physical support. Hugs and other acts of physical affection can cause your body to release oxytocin, which will strengthen your bond with your loved ones. As you may already be aware of.

But what happens when your mood plummets in circumstances where you can’t readily access that comfort?

Perhaps you find yourself feeling depressed, overburdened, or just plain nasty at work or around strangers. A supportive embrace seems like exactly what you need to turn your mood around, but there’s no one around to do the honors — no one other than you, that is.

While giving yourself a hug might feel a little silly, it could actually do the trick. Touch—yes, even your own—can reduce tension and make you feel secure and at ease. Additionally, it can foster self-kindness and self-compassion, which can both open the door to happier emotions.

Hugging oneself only requires you to put your arms around yourself and hold on for a short while, the same way you would while giving someone else a hug.

CRYSTAL OF THE DAY

TIP OF THE DAY

Eat less ultra-processed foods.

Although it's okay to indulge in desserts, sodas, and potato chips every once in a while, be sure to limit your consumption of these foods. As much as we hate to say it, ultra-processed foods are scientifically proven to lower your mood. According to a Harvard Medical School study, those who ate processed foods were more likely to experience depression than those who ate less of it.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

I don’t walk away to teach people a lesson. I walk away because I learned mine. I’d rather adjust my life to your absence than adjust my boundaries to accommodate your disrespect.
