January often feels a bit bleak following the fun and frolics of Christmas festivities. The constant rain, dark mornings and dreary days can make us all a bit miserable at the beginning of a year. That’s why at Trulawn we absolutely welcome and celebrate National Hug Day. Unsurprisingly National Hug day is an American phenomenon – it’s an unofficial national day that takes place each year in the United States on the 21st January.
Here at Trulawn we love a hug. And director Ritchie is a particular advocate and believer in the power of a hug. Studies have shown that hugging has many health benefits like boosting the immune system, reducing stress and even reducing the risk of heart disease. So throughout the day tomorrow we will be hugging both colleagues, friends and family members. Americans often extend their hugs to strangers on National Hug Day, with the caveat that you should ask first if you’re not sure of the response! We’re not sure the Great British public is ready for random stranger hugging.
So throughout the day on Tuesday the Trulawn team will be cheering themselves up with hugs. So if you need a boost on a cold and wet January day our advice is to get hugging!
