As the title suggests...this is about cuddling. That is...how amazing it is.
I've found that absolutely nothing has bee helping my mood in general than cuddling, not the typical cuddling you get from a child, but the adult kind. Let me clarify before anyone gets excited. I'm not talking about erotica. I'm talking about adult skin to skin contact through simple, innocent cuddling.
When we go to bed at night, we will often wait up for the other so that we can go to bed together and have some cuddling time before we fall asleep. There is tons of science that proves that we all need skin to skin contact. When a baby is first born, that is the first contact they crave, skin to skin.
I remember in the delivery room when our baby girl was born, hubby was told to take his shirt off just as I had delivered our daughter so that he could hold her skin to skin to help her regulate her temperature. It was also supposed to calm her. Reassure her. Our voices were supposed to help her realize that she was in a safe place, as she would know our voices from her time in my womb.
The same must be true for adults.
When we grieve, a simple embrace helps us through.
When our children are upset, the fastest way to make them feel better is a hug.
The hugs I've been getting from my children and boyfriend have helped so much lately.
Everyone get a cuddle in.
