Surprising Ways To Break A Bad Mood & Start Feeling Happier #10: Give yourself a hug... Meh. Is not the hug I want. What's your hug like?

Category: Silly Questions.

Today's series is about breaking bad mood. No matter the cause of your bad mood, doing something that distracts you from the negativity at hand will help you bust out of the rut and bring more pep into your energy levels and mood. Whether you want to interact with others or feel more positive on your own, do what works for you for that instant relief and new outlook. (Source: bustle.com)

Hugs! I like them. But my own? Is like... Ugh! What do you feel it's like?



While it might sound strange, simply hugging yourself will increase oxytocin, the intimate or love hormone, and allow us to feel more connected, appreciated and happier. If you are around a partner or friend, feel free to share the love by giving each other a warm embrace, but if you are alone, don't be afraid to show some self-appreciation and enjoy that warm, cuddly sensation.

    I hate hugs, it's too invasive for me. I would stand there and begrudgingly let people hug me, though.
