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.
Untitled by #francescoclemente !! Something pleasant to soothe my soul afta terrible footbal season! A true master piece indeed! #clemente #neoexpressionism
Glad the worst is finally over!! What an awful season! In spite of all the injuries (#milito #zanetti #palacio and #cassano) and bad refereeing management still has to assume responsibility for some really bad decisions as well e.g selling #sneijder and #coutinho then failing to replace them with suitable talent (xcept #kovacic) !!! Long story short i think that #strama needs to get the axe and we need a more seasoned manager like #waltermazzari !! And more proven talent like #paulinho or #willianborgesdasilva !! #amala #beneamata #pazzainter #forzainter #nerazurri #internazionale #fcinter #inter #intermilan #interisti #interista #interfamily #morethanjustagame

The flesh patterns are still imbedded in our minds when we become new creations in Christ, but we can crucify the flesh and choose to walk by the Spirit:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things…
