What Does Your Zodiac Reveal About Your Thoughts?

December 2, 2015 by Power of Positivity

The zodiac sign you were born under says a lot about your personality, demeanor, and your overall thoughts about life. The mindset of each zodiac sign varies, as all twelve signs possess different characteristics.

If you’d like to know more about the mindset of your zodiac sign, keep reading below.

What is your zodiac mindset?

Aries

Aries don’t mind taking on the world by themselves; they have a headstrong, go-getter attitude, and nothing will slow them down or stand in their way. They leap before they crawl, and have high self-esteem no matter what people say about them. To people who don’t know them, they might seem bossy, demanding, and arrogant, but they have big hearts, and will protect and cherish those they love with everything they have.

Taurus

Taurus might seem stubborn and unwavering, but they just like to do things their way, and don’t see the need to speculate on how to do something if they know how already. They have a strong work ethic, and love to indulge in the finer things in life after working so hard. Loyalty and trust matter deeply to them, so if they let you in, don’t disappoint them. They don’t open up easily, so consider yourself special if you get to see the parts of themselves they usually keep hidden.

Gemini

Geminis have a split personality, making it difficult for most people to understand them. On one hand, they love going out, meeting new friends and conversing with old ones, and just living it up to the fullest. They have a charismatic, warm, open personality that draws people to them easily, but they also have a fiercely independent side that makes them hide away from others at times and do their own thing. Gemini believe in having fun above everything else, and don’t take life too seriously.

Cancer

Cancers can seem even more difficult to decode than Geminis. They have a playful spirit underneath their hard shell, but sometimes, they can seem as serious as a heart attack. One minute, them seem like they’ve finally warmed up to you, and the next, they go back into hiding, afraid of feeling too vulnerable. Cancers can come across as too sensitive and needy, but they just want to love and feel loved. They surround themselves with genuine people, and avoid those who try to hard or seem manipulative. Cancers can easily spot fake people, as they have a strong intuition.

Leo

Leos don’t hold anything back; they love the spotlight, love attention, and love telling it like it is. The lion can seem a bit cocky and obnoxious, but they are some of the most lovable people you will ever come across once you get to know them. They are the life of the party, and can make even the most serious people laugh. Leos love being around people, but their independent streak makes getting close to others difficult at times. They have a strong sense of who they are, and aren’t afraid to let their true self shine through for the world to see.

Virgo

Virgos have an analytical, contemplative, and logical mindset; if you need a problem solved, just call on a Virgo and they will get right on it. Virgos look at the world through a practical frame of mind, and don’t let their emotions cloud their better judgment. They might seem a bit rigid and uptight, but they have a method to their madness. They enjoy having intelligent conversations, and don’t really give others the time of day if they don’t sense a connection with them.

Libra

Libras love balance, and strive to create it in everything they do. They steer clear of trivial drama and instead work on creating their own happiness, leaving their imprint on the world rather than letting the world drag them through the mud. If a Libra feels imbalanced in life, everything else will start to fall to the wayside until they can figure out the issue at hand. Libras have a calm, collected, and soothing nature that makes them approachable and highly relatable.

Scorpio

Scorpios have a mysterious air about them; even after a few conversations with them, they still can seem difficult to read. They also can seduce anyone that catches their eye, as they are greatly in touch with their sexuality. However, get on their bad side, and they can switch from innocent and shy to vengeful and spiteful in a heartbeat. Scorpios need reassurance to know that you really love and care about them, and enjoy grand gestures.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius’ love adventure and constant movement; they can’t sit still for long without getting bored and restless. They can sometimes talk too much, but they don’t see that as a problem; they need to have people around who can keep up with their fast pace. Sagittarius believe in living life to the fullest, and often don’t think before they act. They fly by the seat of their pants, and don’t think twice about how they choose to live.

Capricorn

Capricorns also have a strong work ethic, and sometimes get so caught up in their work that they forget everything else. They believe wholeheartedly in earning their way through life, so putting all their blood, sweat, and tears into their work only makes sense to them. You might have to pry them away from their desk at times, but if you can manage to, they will shower you with love and affection, and remind you how important you are to them.

Pisces

Pisces imagination will intrigue you for days, as they have whole worlds swimming through their veins and live in a totally different universe than the rest of us. They have a deeply sensitive and caring nature, and will stand by and protect their loved ones, no questions asked.

Aquarius

Aquarius sometimes seem closed off to emotions, but they just take some time to crack open. They have a longing for travel, learning about new cultures, and meeting people from all different backgrounds. Aquarius thrive on intelligent conversations and people with an open mind, but also enjoy their alone time. Aquarius are some of the most interesting people you will ever meet, if you stick around to let them show you the real them.

11 Things You Need To Know About Loving A Sagittarius

December 1, 2015 by Power of Positivity

The Sagittarius, born between November 22 and December 21, are certainly a force to be reckoned with. You will not soon forget a Sagittarius after meeting him or her, because they simply have a lasting effect on your soul once you encounter them. They have a big, bold personality, and their fierce, fiery nature could burn a hole in anyone if they can’t handle the heat. Because we have moved into the sun sign Sagittarius now, we thought we would give you a crash course in all things Sagittarius, and what you need to know about loving one.

Here are 11 things to know about loving a Sagittarius:

Always remember these things when interacting with a Sagittarius.

1. They will always tell you what’s on their mind.

A Sag will never shy away from telling you the truth, and nothing but the truth. You will never have to guess how a Sagittarian feels, because he or she will tell you upfront. If you can’t handle brutal honesty, you probably won’t get along with a Sagittarius, because they speak their minds no matter what.

2. They don’t hold anything back.

A Sagittarian doesn’t believe in hiding their feelings or giving half-truths about a situation. They will give you the full story; you can either take it or leave it. They don’t apologize for what they say (most of the time). That’s because they feel no need to say sorry for speaking their truth. They don’t tiptoe through life; they run full speed ahead and don’t bother slowing down for those who prefer to go slower.

3. A Sagittarius can’t sit still for long.

Sagittarians have some of the shortest attention spans of all the signs; they need constant movement and stimulation to satisfy themselves. They are flighty and do things on a whim instead of planning them out. You need to have some good running shoes to keep up with a Sagittarius, that’s for sure.

4. They have a very active social life.

Sagittarians hate spending time alone, so they fill their days with activities and meetings with their favorite people to keep them occupied and entertained. If they spend too much time in isolation, they will grow bored and depressed, so they have many friends to keep them company. They have no problem talking to people they don’t know, and will discuss with just about anyone.

5. They will do things on the spur of the moment.

Spontaneity and Sagittarians go hand-in-hand; they hardly ever plan anything they do. Everything in their lives happens within seconds of them conjuring up the idea, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. Part of their charm is their unpredictability, so to love a Sagittarius, you must feel comfortable doing things at the drop of a hat. Plans change rapidly with a Sagittarius around, so expect a wild ride.

6. Their charm level is off the charts.

Once they turn their charm on, you won’t be able to resist. Sagittarius’ love to make people feel good and go out of their way to make sure everyone around them is happy. They know exactly what to say and do to get on people’s good side, and because of that, they don’t have very many enemies.

7. They love to flirt.

Sagittarians don’t hesitate to put the moves on people they really feel connected to, so if they dig you, you won’t have to try to read their minds. They will tell you (or show you) just how much they like you.

8. A Sagittarius looks on the bright side of life.

Sagittarians are eternal optimists, always seeing the silver lining in the dark clouds. Pessimists bring them down pretty quickly, so they try to surround themselves with people who have a similar outlook on life. Even if something utterly tragic and horrible happens in their life, they will see it as a lesson learned and try to see the positives in the experience. If you have a bad day, just ask a Sagittarius to spend time with you. You will soon forget all about your troubles in the company of a Sag.

9. They are wild children.

Free spirits, rebels without a cause, wandering souls…whatever you want to call it, the term fits a Sagittarius to a T. They don’t like being told what to do and have no problem paving their own path in life, wherever it takes them.

10. They ask a lot of questions.

If you give a one-word answer to a Sagittarius, expect a billion questions to follow. Forever curious, they will ask as many questions as they need to to understand something.

10 Things You’ll Only Understand if You’re a Sagittarius

11. Passion is a Sagittarius’ middle name.

Sags have an unbridled passion for life and attract others to them with a similar unstoppable attitude. They don’t care if they seem too loud, too obnoxious, too honest, or too hard to handle – they live life to the fullest and have no regrets.

5 Little Things That Will Improve Your Relationship

December 1, 2015 by Power of Positivity

Happy couples know that good relationships take work. It’s a joint effort by you to keep a good thing going. But you don’t have to make grand gestures like sweeping them off to a second honeymoon to have a healthy relationship. Sometimes it’s the small things that make all the difference.

No matter how good things are with your partner, they can always be better. For couples looking to improve their relationships, here are 5 little things you can start doing right away.

5 Little Things That Will Improve Your Relationship

1. Eliminate “Yes but” from your vocabulary.

When your partner wants to do something you don’t want to, you can easily disappoint them by saying no to their request. “Yes but” is a little phrase that really means the same as saying “No.” The “but” is usually followed by an excuse for why you don’t want to do what your partner wants.

For example, if your partner wants to go for an afternoon of golf and you’d rather go to a movie, instead of saying, “Yes, but I want to go to a movie,” say, “Yes, AND then we can go see a movie after we golf.” With “Yes and,” you both get what you want and have two activities you can share.

2. Let the little things go.

In a relationship, it’s all about compromise. You can’t have your way all the time, and neither can your partner. Accept that your partner has different preferences than you do, and that’s what makes them unique.

Avoid arguments by releasing the need to have things your way. When your partner wants something their way, let them have it. Don’t keep score either.

The same goes for the need to be right all the time. If your partner and you are arguing over what time your favorite TV show comes on, one of you is probably wrong. In the big picture of your relationship over your lifetime, you won’t still be debating this ten years from now, so let it go. Otherwise the nonstop arguments over little things could be the reason that you don’t have that ten year anniversary.

3. Listen intently.

Think about the last time that you heard someone speak who captured your full attention. Maybe it was a famous person making a speech about a topic that was interesting to you. Now think about the last time that your partner spoke to you. Can you even remember what they said? What was the difference in your attitude and behavior toward each speaker?

We speak at a slower rate than our minds are capable of processing information. As a result, while our partners are talking, our thoughts often wander to the little things that are important to us like what we could be getting done instead of listening to them talk.

Rather than disrespecting your partner by not giving them your full attention, practice active listening. Remove distractions like your cell phone, turn your body toward your partner, make eye contact, and don’t interrupt them. As they speak, try to summarize their meaning in your own words mentally. When they finish, clarify that you understood what they were trying to communicate.

4. Play together.

A study in The Family Journal found that relationship satisfaction was higher for couples who played together more frequently. The shared experiences of a fun time together create a bond that improves intimacy.

Play can be anything from physical activity like a sport to movie night at home. Finding opportunities to have fun doesn’t have to be a planned activity either. Playing with your partner could be as simple as sharing a laugh.

Find humor in everyday things that you can playfully tease your partner about. For example, laugh with each other over the fact that you almost poured orange juice into your cereal. If you two have an inside joke that no one else could understand, you share that private connection in your relationship.

5. Express gratitude to your partner.

Margaret Paul, Ph.D., author of Do I Have To Give Up Me To Be Loved By You? says that “Complaints create stress, while gratitude creates inner peace, so gratitude creates not only emotional and relationship health, but physical health as well.” Reducing stress is a great reason to appreciate your partner.

Focusing on positives rather than negatives also improves your attitude toward your partner. If your spouse just fixed the dishwasher but left a mess of tools and dirty parts on the counter, focus on the good and not the bad. Instead of saying “Why can’t you put your tools away where they belong?,” say “It’s wonderful to have a loving partner who can fix things when they break.” When your words express what’s going right in your relationship, your thoughts agree with them.

4 Behaviors That Push People Away

December 1, 2015 by Chris Butler

Do you tend to push people away without even realizing it? Ask yourself two hard questions–and answer honestly. Have you had friends who just drifted away? Are your behaviors causing this?

Your relationship seemed great, but they stopped including you in their activities. Perhaps you asked them to hang out on several occasions, but they were always busy. You don’t know what happened, but now you’re wondering if there are things you do that push people away. Check out the four behaviors that push people away to better understand if it’s something you’ve been doing in your friendships.

1 – Complaining Is a Behavior That Can Push People Away

Complaining is expressing your dissatisfaction. It’s finding fault with things. It’s customary on one level to complain about bad things that happen to you, but when complaining is your regular attitude, you get a reputation of being a complainer. Complaining all the time drains the life out of a friendship. There are different types of complainers.

Complainers who vent: This type of complainer doesn’t want your advice. They vent all the time about the weather, their job, their kids, and their spouse. Their life, in their view, is a significant negative experience.
Complainers who want sympathy: These complainers wish you to feel sorry for them. They need a listening ear so they can ramble on about all the difficulties they’ve had.
Complainers are addicted to complaining: They complain so much they can’t stop. Complaining defines them. They nurse their complaints with worry and anxiety.

Complaining ruins friendships. It’s hard to talk to someone who complains all the time because they’re not interested in what’s going on in your life.

How can you stop complaining?

If you give in to complaining a lot, here are some strategies that could help you break the habit.

Try to step back: if you are a complainer, it’s easy to get caught up in things that probably won’t be that important to you in a couple of years.
Look at yourself: Do you like who you are? Are you unhappy? If so, ask yourself what’s making you complain so much. Has someone hurt you who you find hard to forgive? Take some time to self-evaluate and decide who you want to be.
Practice being grateful: Being grateful helps you realize the good things in your life instead of the negative things. Gratitude lowers your anxiety and stress levels. Keep a gratefulness journal. Every day, write something you’re grateful for in your life. You may start with being thankful for those basic things like food, clothing, a place to live, or your family that makes your life enjoyable. It may surprise you when you see all the positive things you have in your life.

2 – Selfish Behaviors Will Push People Away

Selfishness is a common problem for everyone. It’s easy to think more about yourself than you do other people. But some individuals are oblivious to their selfishness. Dealing with a friend who is constantly self-centered is exhausting. If you have a selfish friend, you probably experienced these things in your friendship. Selfish people tend to

Manipulate: It’s common for selfish people to manipulate their family and friends to get what they want. They need to control things and assume their way is the best.
Consumed with themselves: They are aware of themselves and their life. They don’t ask you about yourself when you’re with them but talk about themselves.
Lack of gratitude: Selfish people don’t show appreciation unless it’s to gain attention. They act entitled when they receive something rather than thankful for what they received.
Won’t allow themselves to be vulnerable: It’s hard for a selfish person to show weakness unless it’s to get sympathy. It’s hard to get to know them because they don’t like to open up.

How can you stop being selfish?

If you struggle with being selfish, here are some steps to change.

Listen to others: If you are selfish, you probably aren’t a good listener. As you get into conversations, attempt to listen rather than talk.
Let others go first: Do you tend to help yourself? Try to step back and let others go first, whether at Starbucks or when you’re driving your car.
Let other shine: Selfish people love to be the center of attention. If you’re aware of your tendency towards selfishness, let others be the center of attention. Cheer them on, show them respect.
Evaluate your actions: Take time to assess how you’re doing. Ask a close friend if they can see a difference in your life. Get their input on how you can change.

3 – Playing the Victim

Someone who pushes people away may not be aware they do this when always playing the victim. They may take everything you say personally and get hurt if you aren’t giving them enough attention and validation. These kinds of friendships are one-sided and exhausting. If you have a friend like this, you may alternate between feeling sorry for them and not wanting to be around them because they’re so needy for your acceptance and approval of them.

How do you know if someone is always playing the victim?

They won’t take responsibility: People who play the victim refuse to be responsible for their actions. It’s always someone else’s fault they are like they are. They point the finger at their parents, partners, boss, or kids for making their lives miserable.
Hold grudge: Individuals who see themselves as victims hold grudges against people they feel have wronged them. Victims always have a story to tell about how someone hurt them. They may have had some genuinely tricky situations in their life. But instead of trying to find healing, they wallow in their hurt and rehearse all the wrongs ever done to them.
They don’t trust others: People who play the victim rarely trust others. They say the world is a terrible place, and there’s no one you can trust, yet they expect you to trust them and their assessment of themselves. It’s a strange misunderstanding of who they are and how they come across to others.
Self-pity: Self-pity is essentially feeling sorry for yourself because of an actual or perceived injustice or circumstance in your life. They may be hard to talk to about anything else going on except the hardship they’re suffering. It’s as if self-pity is the lens they use to look at life around them.

4 – Gossiping Might Push People Away

Gossip isn’t new. Everybody falls prey to it once in a while. It’s estimated that in approximately two-thirds of the conversations, people have been talking about other people when they’re not there. Some people enjoy gossiping because it makes them feel better about themselves. It’s no fun hanging out with a friend who always tells you negative things about other people. Sharing judgemental opinions and putting people down doesn’t make a sound basis for friendship. If you have a friend who does this with you, it’s likely they also gossip about you behind your back. It’s no wonder gossips push people away. They don’t feel like safe people to be around.

How can you stop gossiping behaviors?

If you struggle with gossiping about others, here are some suggestions to stop.

Ask yourself some questions when you’re tempted to give in to gossip. Is this kind? Is it true? Finally, ask–is it helpful or harmful?
Stop the conversation with humor: If you’re in a conversation and it drifts to gossip about someone, stop the conversation with a humorous comment like, “We all do that, right?” or “Hey, let’s talk about the weather instead of __________.”
Think about how you would feel if you were that person being gossiped about.
Stop hanging out with other people who gossip. Gossips tend to hang around each other, perpetuating this damaging behavior.

Final Thoughts on Behaviors That Can Push People Away

If you had friendships that suddenly ended and you never found out why maybe you pushed your friends. No one wants to push people away, but it can end your friendship if you do certain things. Constantly complaining, gossiping, playing the victim, or being selfish will erode your friendships. It’s not too late to change how you relate to your friends and build long-lasting friendships.

5 Great Lessons for Introverts

December 1, 2015 by Power of Positivity

Some of us enjoy spending most of our free time alone. The people that make up this group are called introverts. Introverts tend to be more focused on their own thoughts and feelings. Also, constant social interaction effectively drains introverts of their energy, as they are more contemplative.

This is the opposite of extroverts, who are known to be outgoing, aggressive, and have the ability to make quick decisions.

Introverts are a minority and are forced to acclimate to environments that often take an emotional and mental toll. The extroverted environments of work and social gatherings often make an introvert more withdrawn, which often comes with a critical eye from those who don’t understand introversion.

It is important for introverts to be mindful of things that can be done to feel total wellness in what can be a trying social and work life.

Here are five great lessons for introverts:

“Solitude matters, and for some people, it’s the air they breathe.” – Susan Cain

1. Introverts quit trying to “fit in”.

This is hard because we all want to be liked and respected. But, there is a good chance that others will like and respect you regardless of a difference in personality. Think about it – how many friends do you have with a different personality, even the “opposite”, from yourself?

That said, there are going to be those who question your personality. There will be others who will think you’re withdrawn and aloof. There will be those who don’t understand your need for quiet space. It’s your prerogative whether or not you feel compelled to explain; doing so may do a bit of good in how others perceive you. However, you should feel obligated to (1) have people understand you and (2) have people like you.

2. Socialize comfortably.

As introverts, we are often put in social situations that make us feel uncomfortable. Examples are small talk, noisy and crowded places, lack of privacy, etc. While dealing with these situations may be necessary at times (for example: a work event), introverts will quickly become drained of energy if they’re too overstimulated.

Suppressing the need to be in a comfortable environment can only work for a short period. So when you feel the urge to get away and take some time, by all means, do so. Trust your feelings and step away from all of the noisy stimulation. You’ll find that not only are you more energized, but you’ll also be in a much better mood to socialize later on.

Here’s the takeaway: only socialize in ways you’re comfortable with. As with not trying to fit in, don’t try to socialize if your natural tendency is to do something else. Try to find social situations that fit your preferences. Instead of having a bunch of friends over to the house, schedule dinner with a few friends. If you’re not feeling the vibe at some party, just tell your friends to expect a call or text to catch up later on.

Don’t feel bad about rejecting or leaving social invitations that you’re uncomfortable with.

3. Introverts seek like-minded people.

Let’s be honest: it’s not easy being an introvert. Extroverts dominate the culture of the United States and many other places in the Western world. They’re obligated to take charge and speak up…and we’re just fine with sitting back and listening. Both types are ultimately needed in society…it’s just a difficult partnership at times.

Perhaps the best way to avoid all of the awkwardness is to find people who think like you do! Even though extroverts outnumber introverts, there is still a heavy dose of them out there. Even though small talk is not the introvert’s strong suit (by far!), we can still strike up a like-minded conversation with a like-minded individual. For example, when you’re at the bookstore grabbing coffee, ask about the book someone has in their hand. Maybe offer to buy them a cup. See where this is going?

So instead of trying to force yourself to engage in small talk, hang out with someone who hates it just as much as you do! Find someone who thinks hanging out at a coffee shop or bookstore trumps a party. Not only is it easier to hang out with other kindred spirits, but it’s also much more enjoyable.

4. Maximize on quiet time.

Make sure that you take full advantage when you get some well-deserved quiet time. Also, make sure you do not neglect alone time to make someone else happy. This is easy to do when people make a bunch of requests of you – kids, spouses, friends, co-workers – they will make your presence a priority. But you cannot prioritize someone else above your health, which is essentially the trade-off that some introverts are making.

Remember: introverts need quiet time; it’s not an option. Just as extroverts need social stimulation, we need to recharge our batteries using solitude. Quiet time is an investment in your own mental and physical health. We have unique wiring. We must understand something very important: you can’t be there for others if you cannot be there for yourself.

5. Introverts focus on their strengths.

Since introverts tend to be more sensitive, they also tend to dwell upon their shortcomings. Introverts innately know that they’re not good at small talk; they’re not good at being in socially demanding situations; they’re not good at engaging people (most times).

That said, introverts have some tremendous qualities. Indeed, we need more of this in the world today. Introverts are tremendous listeners; they have well-developed concentration; they are good writers; they prepare relentlessly.

It’s important for introverts (and anyone else reading this) to focus on their strengths and not dwell upon their weaknesses. Everyone has a heavy dose of both.

Give yourself some credit for being uniquely you!

7 Reasons Why You Need More Hugs (Backed By Science)

November 30, 2015 by Power of Positivity

Stress has become a constant in the lives of many, affecting family life, work, and everything else they do. People try all kinds of ‘methods’ to keep stress under control, but a simple hug is one thing that’s available for everybody, is free, and has wonderful effects on stress and negative energy.

Research on the effects of a comforting embrace concludes that it’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to live a happy and relaxed life. While you may have embraced these facts already without the need for science to back them, it’s important to wrap your mind around the facts showing the importance to wrap your arms around someone.

Here are 7 Scientifically Supported Reasons to Give More Hugs:

Hugging Boosts your morale

One hug at the perfect moment can have a huge impact on someone’s day, and can even affect their way of acting. The action of hugging may have an emotional charge to be received by the one in need but it has a both-way action and the psychological bonding between protagonists will enforce both of them creating social relationships.

Enbraces Relieve Pain

The act of hugging means the brain secretes the hormone oxytocin, responsible usually for making mothers forget about birth pain. This way people tend to forget about all the negative aspects of their lives, the pains they endured, and focus more on the positive aspects of their life and what they can achieve from that moment on.

Hugs lower your blood pressure

By taking this aspect into consideration it’s easily observable that your mind is not the only one benefiting from hugs, your body does it too. While you’re hugging someone your skin receptors pick these signals and certain nerves from your body send them to the brain. This feeling of safety and wellness is then transmitted throughout the body and to the heart ending by relaxing your muscles and veins and lowering your blood pressure.

Embraces heal the heart

A study conducted by the NC University revealed the fact that people who were prevented or simply didn’t have any contact with their loved ones presented an increase in heartbeats on the overall measurement. This also has to do with stress and tension accumulated in the body that forces the heart to pump blood through harder arteries, struggling to provide the same blood flow. On the other hand people who were submitted to constant hugging showed half the number of heartbeats, a more relaxed heart, and greater chances of a long and happy life.

Hugs boost self-esteem and eliminate fear

When embracing, people tend to get a boost to their self-esteem and fearless what others might think about them, but the feeling of fear and all its aspects (death, failure, loneliness) is reduced to a minimum leaving the ‘actors of the hug’ to handle life much better. The idea of protection and escape can be instinctively seen in the case of children who hug a teddy bear or a blanket and suddenly feel safe. This instinct remains with us throughout our entire life if we are aware of it or not, and has spectacular effects on our health when we least expect it.

Hugs help children grow harmoniously

Hugging has extraordinary effects on our babies’ health and helps them grow healthy and happy. A link demonstrates how emotionally supportive we are to our babies and how emotionally stable they are as adults. Studies have also shown that hugging increases how well they can manage stressful situations and how easy they can establish relationships with other people. Take any chance of hugging your children and show them as much love as you can because this will help both of you.

Hugs comfort elders

The greatest fear of any old person is loneliness and isolation form society. It is said that loneliness acts rather like a disease than simply a situation and sometimes the stress caused by loneliness can cause the earlier death of that person. Hugging can be a solution to help elders get a chunk of happiness each day. And it doesn’t matter if it’s someone they know or a strange person, the effects are the same because those positive chemical processes are started in the body, regardless of age.

Embraces relax nerves

Studies have shown an improvement of nervous system functioning in the case of people who were hugging. We are electrical beings even if we carry only a small charge, and by hugging the conductance of the nervous system at skin level proved to be more balanced and the nerves more relaxed. By relaxing our nerves (through hugs) we get rid of the tension that makes our life seem so hard sometimes.

Final Thoughts on the Value of Hugs

We should all remember to hug the people next to us. Hugs are free, hugs are life. Now, go hug someone!
