It’s clear that many of us are craving those stress-reducing squeezes. So in celebration of National Hugging Day on Thursday, we’ve rounded up some safe, feel-good hug alternatives you can do on your own.
If you want to feel like you’re being hugged and cuddled all at once, try a weighted blanket. These heavier-than-usual blankets have gained popularity in the past few years since laying them over yourself mimics the feeling of a hug or being held and, in turn, may calm the nervous system.
Wash off the day – and your stress – with a warm bath. Go crazy with bath bombs or a play of music of yo choice! Are ever too old for a bubble bath?
Give your mind a hug with some guided meditation. Here are some great meditation apps you can use!
The holidays may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to take your decorations down!
