Happy Valentine’s Day, Habit Thrivers!

On Episode #139 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are continuing to explore and expand our heart focus.

And today’s subject is a simple, yet powerful tool that is a mood and well-being booster that just about anyone can do: Hugging.

Giving (and receiving) hugs is so amazing for our health and wellbeing, and today we will start out by exploring the scientific reasons behind the “why”.

• Lowers Heart Rate & Blood Pressure
• Releases Oxytocin ("The Love Hormone")
• Reduces Stress & Improves Heart Coherence
• Strengthens Emotional Resilience
• Enhances Circulation & Immune Function

Next, we’re going to discover how many hugs we should be experiencing on a daily basis (and for how long) to fully reap the benefits.

Spoiler alert: The number varies based on whether you want to just survive or thrive!

And, lastly, we’re going to talk about how we can make hugging a habit.

I’m boosting this hugging habit with a fun little challenge, so tune in and join me as a hugger-in-training!
