You must hug as many people as possible today, and then tell them you just tagged them and now they must spread as many hugs as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Why should you do play hug tag? Here are two reasons to play this game.<\/p>\n<h4>First, hugs are good for you.<\/h4>\n<p>They offer many great benefits. Hugs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce stress by showing your support.<\/li>\n<li>Protect you against illness.<\/li>\n<li>Help you communicate with others.<\/li>\n<li>Boost your heart health.<\/li>\n<li>Make you happier.<\/li>\n<li>Help reduce your fears.<\/li>\n<li>And reduce your pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Second, hugs are reciprocal.<\/h4>\n<p>The giver of a hug gets a hug back.\u00a0 Because they are reciprocal, they remind us that love flows both ways, that to get love you must give love.<\/p>\n<p>There is a saying by Virginia Satir, a respected family therapist, \u201cWe need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need twelve hugs a day for growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eight or more might seem like a lot of hugs, but while researching and writing this article I asked my husband, \u201cHow many hugs a day do you like?\u201d He said, \u201cI&#8217;m not going to tell you how many I like, but it&#8217;s way more than eight.\u201d His answer really made me smile and touched my heart. And, I realized how organic and deep the need for hugs is.<\/p>\n<p>So please participate in this game by hugging people physically or by sharing this post!\u00a0 Your participation will help both you and the person you are hugging!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/comes-back-near-a-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words-eagle\/\">The love you give does come back to you.<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Do you need to clean up a relationship?<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you love someone, let him know!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/reading-with-child-eagle-near-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words\/\">Why did I start this tag game?<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this game of tag, you are now the IT.
