A Hug – That Warms Our Soul

We all need hugs that bring us relief and comfort, that make us feel loved. We are happy when we are hugged and also when we are allowed to hug others.

A hug is the sign of affection, appreciation, appreciation and love.  It shows you “everything is fine” and “I’m with you” – everyone needs this feeling again and again.

In various posts we have already talked about the need for self-love, self-esteem and the ability to fight for dreams and distance oneself from negative relationships.

Today’s post  is about the importance of regularly showing and receiving affection that goes far beyond mere physical contact  and unites two hearts. It’s about warming each other’s souls.

Are you one of those people who hug their loved ones tightly every day?

Hugs repair and ease anxiety

Some hugs have the ability to solve problems without the need for words. You have probably already experienced this affection, for example after a discussion with your children or your partner when you don’t know what to do next.

In everyday life, differences of opinion arise again and again, during which tense words are exchanged. As soon as it gets to the point where you can no longer think, feelings and emotions remain that tell us that we love this person and that it hurts not to find a solution.

A simple hug instantly removes any tension,  stress, and hopelessness. Suddenly everything is perfect: Our body, our emotions and our affection are in the foreground.

In a relationship there are often times when you have doubts, fear or worries.

Sometimes we really need a hug

• There are times when the couple’s relationship becomes routine. Every day seems to be the same and the initial magic can be lost in the process. Then doubts often arise.
• Fears arise and the question of whether the partner really feels love and longing, whether the relationship can stay strong forever.
• Then it’s time to show authenticity. On some days, reassuring phrases such as “of course everything is fine”, “of course I love you, what thoughts” are not enough. We don’t need words, we need facts. In this case, there is nothing like a long, silent hug.

There are different types of hugs. When you are hugged, you should  feel that it is an authentic, true feeling. Then all fears pass, the stars are again favorable and everything takes on great importance.

The hug that unites you with the world and enables your love

The best hug is the one that you get exactly when you need it,  when we become aware of who belongs in our lives and our hearts.

• Sometimes experiments are carried out in which anonymous people are surprisingly given hugs. This is very positive and gives closeness, but an authentic hug is like therapy and comes from people we love.
• When a hug unites us with the world, we have received it from someone important to us. For example, think of how children would feel if they were not given physical contact, caresses, or hugs.
• A hug also means the recognition of the person: You are part of me and therefore I want to wrap my arms around you, because you are also part of my soul.

• Nothing can bring relief like an honest hug at the right time. This warms the heart and strengthens self-confidence,  thereby releasing endorphins, which ensure a pleasant feeling of well-being.

If they don’t dare to hug you … take the initiative!

Sometimes we complain that our children or our partners are a little “dry”. They don’t seem to need or reject tokens of tenderness.

This may depend on each individual’s personality, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need or appreciate hugs. Some people find it difficult to express emotions,  they dare not and do not feel able to do so.

• After a certain age, adolescents often associate tenderness with a regression into childhood and do not accept this, as they are fighting for their independence.
• Don’t worry about it, don’t get angry, or interpret this as saying that they don’t love you. A sudden hug, quick but intense, will always make you smile.

We all need daily or surprise hugs to strengthen relationships  and to make us aware: “I am here, I will always love you, you are the best of my life”.
