….and My Story Runs On….

Today is National Hugging Day.  Sometimes I think these “holidays” can get out of control but for someone who loves to hug, I’m happy to celebrate this day!

I love hugs so much that I did a speech on ChiHugs a few years ago in my Toasmaster club.   Why do I love hugs?  Just read the info in the photos below….why wouldn’t I love hugs?!

If you want to learn how to give a really good hug “you want to set up the conditions for energy to flow between you and the other person. It’s great to give warmth and love and also make the other person feel welcome and received by you. “

I based my speech on my most favorite article on the ChiRunning website, ChiHugs.  This is about hugging with purpose.  There are a lot more tips in this article so you can go read them there.

But please don’t underestimate the POWER of an awesome ChiHug!

Based on the quote in the above photo from Virginia Satir (author and psychotherapist), I DARE YOU TO TRY AND GET 8- 12 HUGS A DAY!
