Now globally observed, National Hugging Day
was established to encourage family and friends to consensually hug improving overall well-being.
“I think hugs are very important nowadays. I think it’s a way for us to say to our fellow humans we see each other, we’re there for each other, and we care for each other.” Jason Ritter, Actor
CARO, MI, January 18, 2022 Senmer News Wire — Humanity is becoming more and more fearful and isolated. Hate, bigotry and violence is increasing. Global Warming is increasing. People are starting to believe there are no safe places to go, grow and thrive as community. We look at others with trepidation and wonder how we, our families and friends can remain safe. “Thoughts & Prayers” for the victims and families of hate/violence are necessary and productive, yet those actions often fall short as they can seem empty without faith, hope and something tangible with which to connect. The COVID-19 pandemic precautions have appropriately led to calls for “physical distancing” and masking-up to help prevent the spread of this virus. Families need to experience the human touch to thrive and improve overall health and emotional well-being. What can be done? This is where National Hugging Day can help. Healing and change CAN occur when we come together in love and acceptance as one human family. During the pandemic, use caution if hugging (mask-up) and try to keep it within your immediate family or “bubble.”
Global Hug Day), was first widely celebrated in 1986 after being published in “Chase’s Calendar of Annual Events.” Since that time, National Hugging Day has continued to grow internationally (USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, UK and Ireland, Germany, Georgia, Sweden, Spain, France, Russia, South Africa, as examples). National Hugging Day was primarily created to encourage family and friends to hug often (and consensually) with one another. Reasonable care should be taken with those who are either uncomfortable with public affection or their reaction to a hug is unknown. In those situations, it is advised to ask first before hugging and exchange consent. There is an abundance of past and current research available that finds positive touch, such as hugging, improves one’s physical, emotional and spiritual health. Embrace National Hugging Day every day!
