Love Hugs and Their Surprising Goodies
A good love hug may surprise you with how many broad-ranging benefits it offers. But first let’s be sure what were talking about. Not all hugs are love hugs. A real love hug starts with a person having and then wanting to give a gift of some sincere, heartfelt, real love. It frequently contains a fair amount of empathy and a bit of evaluation of what the recipient will find beneficial and/or enjoyable. Then, of course, it takes behavioral action. It seldom contains elements of being sexual, perfunctory, manipulative or anything other than a behavioral connection gift.The Many Types of Love Hugs
Love hugs are for everybody – friends, family, young, old, mates, kids, etc. Hugs can be of a great many different types: tender, sweet, comforting, zestful, bold, intimate, lively, and a lot more. Most love hugs include a lot of body contact. Standing and laying down love hugs are often full-bodied and can go from cheek to cheek contact all the way down to the knees or even the feet. Sitting, they usually in essence are sort of like cuddling and physically encompassing. Love hugging frequently last a bit longer than other kinds of hugs and, therefore, can be savored better. Love hugs can be considered a sort of pick me up behavioral vitamin. Have at least one a day.Most genuine love hugs benefit both the initiator and the receiver. This group of benefits is increased when the receiver hugs back. Even without this hug back response, both people benefit. There also are multiple person or clump love hugs with groups of close friends and family, sometimes even including pets.

Also, when you could use a love hug and you realize it, consider directly, quickly and clearly asking for it, not hinting or silently hoping someone will sense your want and act.

types and sorts. Think about custom tailoring your love hugs to the
intended hug recipient and their current needs, wishes and wants. Then
give them what they likely want. Don’t forget they may just want to see

your joy.It is okay to be a little selfish in lots of love hugs. You also may improve the hugs you get by thinking and asking for little experiments in changing what you are getting in the way of a hug.
