Someone told me you need 7 hugs a day to stay healthy. Are we getting our hugs?? I know with my residents I am. Though on non-clinical months my husband picks up the slack. LOL.. what about you? Do you find this valuable?

I loved reading about all the lovey dovey stuff. i think Hugs were the thing I missed most and found hardest to recieve when my husband was away. Thankfully he's home now so I'm getting my fiar share. having four children helps with that too. What interests me about myself is that when I'm stressed or uptight or even just hurting, I reject hugs and dont want to be hugged. I think this might be a self defence mechanism on my part as hugs make me vulnerable. The taking time out stuff was good too. i think sometimes we feel guilty for taking time out for ourselves but I know that there are times when I just need space. My family sometimes find it hard to understand this and I do not always use my space wisely. I love the idea of focusing on others when our needs are high. i actually did this when Steve was away and found myself really blessed and helped by it so I highly reccomend it. Do you find this valuable?
