This One Small Gesture Will Make You -- and the People Around You -- Happier | Thrive Global
New research, out of Carnegie Mellon University and published by PLOS ONE, looks into how hugs impact your negative feelings. The results are promising: One small hug can have a big impact on your stress.
These results are significant whether your interpersonal conflict tends to center around life with a romantic partner, friendships, or work relationships: wherever it happens, conflict with the people in your life is deeply stressful, and can drag down your daily happiness.
There are a broad range of tactics that can help you work through that stress: science has suggested everything from ASMR videos to writing down happy thoughtsto avoiding artificial urgency. But the Carnegie Mellon study authors’ suggestion is perhaps the simplest tactic of all: just give someone a hug.
