When babies are born, they first develop their sense of touch. As we get older, we forget that physical gestures of support such as stroking, massaging, hand-holding, and hugging are vital to our well-being. Being touched can help us better handle stress and other life challenges, and it even works when we give ourselves supportive touch.

Aljoscha Dreisoerner and his colleagues just published a paper showing that soothing self-touch (e.g., placing a hand on your heart for 20 sec) and being hugged can keep your cortisol levels low during a stressful situation.

The paper is free to read for everyone: bit.ly/32izOux"

When we struggle, we give ourselves compassion not to feel better but because we feel bad.
