Which of these hug quotes resonated with you best?

Hugs are a simple thing that don’t need to be overthought.

If you find yourself in a situation with a person who is grieving, sad or just feeling down, it may be difficult to come up with the right words to say.

That’s the perfect time to simply offer a hug.

Or, if you are overjoyed with something that someone just shared and are excited for them, you can offer a simple hug.

A hug takes very little effort, but it can communicate a big message.

However, remember that some people are uncomfortable with hugs, so make sure you know they are receptive to them before you hug everyone.
