Introduction of Hug Day
Hugs are a sign of affection and concern. Because embracing somebody provides significant relief and has a huge impact on one's physical and mental health. As a result, the sixth day of Valentine's week is designated as Hug Day, in which partners express their love and adoration for one another by embracing. Every year on February 12th, this day is observed. During Valentine's Week, it is one of the most memorable days to spend with ones loved ones.
Significance of Hug Day
A hug conveys to one's beloved how significant they are to each other. After a long day at the office, a warm embrace from one's companion may automatically brighten the day and leave a smile on the face. They are effective stress relievers that also aid in the development of trust and security in a bond. It is one of the most effective methods to express compassion, gratitude, appreciation and share the pain or displeasure with each other. Hugs have been shown to enhance oxytocin levels in the body and cure feelings of hopelessness, alienation, hostility, irritation, and other negative emotions. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley speculate that this sensation may also have anti-ageing properties. A deep embrace helps to boost cognitive health while also balancing the nerve system.

Decoding Different Types of Hugs
- Tight Hug: People who are in love will undoubtedly do this. In the season of love, partners give their loved ones a tight hug to make them feel like the luckiest person in the world.
- Side Hug: it's a type of hug when people are not so much connected with each other but might want to wish them on this day. Side hugs are a sign of showing one's cordial feelings towards others.
- Bear Hug: also known as teddy hug, a bear hug can be given in order to surprise one's partner or a bunch of friends. No one will object since this hug is the purest form of expression that demonstrates how much one care for the other in the group.
- Hugging from Behind: Depending on how the hug is delivered, it may signify a loving relationship in which one person stands behind the other, with the hugger's front contacting the other's backside intimately and wrapping their arms around the partner's chest or waist. Couples may stay physically near while staring at the same sight in this stance, which helps them bond. "It provides them that additional push behind their back that says, 'I've got your back.'"
- Heart-to-heart Hug: Both huggers embrace from the left side in a heart-to-heart hug, so their hearts are the first to contact. This may be done while standing or sitting. This is an excellent embrace for partners who wish to become personal with one another. Heart-to-heart hugs can also help those who don't usually like hugging but want to gratify a loved one who enjoys physical intimacy or has physical affection as a communication style.
- Eye to Eye Hug: This hug is very common amongst lovers, which act as an expression of romance between people. Here, the couples embrace each other and hold that position to keep looking into each other's eyes, which may later turn into a tight hug, thereby grooving to a position of slow dance depending upon the moods of the individuals.
- Twirl around Hug: One of the most playful and romantic hugs in order to express the level of joy and excitement. Here, the hug involves one person lifting up the other and twirling them around, which mostly happens when two partners are long distanced and meet after a long time.
- Waist Hug: this hug is often offered by a man to the lady he adores. This embrace tells it everything. It indicates that he is fascinated in the woman and wants her to be a part of his life experience.
- Straddle Hug: The straddle hug is a full-body intimate grip with intense eye contact that is commonly shared between loving partners. The embrace, being an intimate and personal gesture, frequently carries an underlining sensual undertone. The embrace demonstrates the two people's strong connectivity and trust, and commitment.
- Ragdoll Hug: The ragdoll embrace is an unusual sort of hug that represents a one-sided connection. The ragdoll embrace may imply that the other individual is unwilling to go the additional mile to advance the relationship. This style of embrace might be perceived as frigid and unwelcoming. However, there is a chance that you will misinterpret the other person's actual intentions. The individual may be a close friend who is too bashful or uncomfortable with physical intimacy.
- Long-Lasting Hug: This type of embrace continues without either party needing to say anything. It is a quiet gesture of love and support that does not need to be spoken verbally. It is exhibited not only between partners but also between dear ones in general. Whoever embraces like this will always be there for you in good times and bad.
