The power of hugs
Having a bad day? Let me encourage you to try hugs not drugs. Two quotes from Temple Grandin.
“Pressure is calming to the nervous system.”
“The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax; and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.”
When I imagine comfort, I often imagine the music of an obscure band called The For Carnation.
Maybe my imagination is recalling them for good reason?
