One way they’ve been able to keep themselves individually sane and simultaneously reconnect every day is by doing the 20-second hug. Every morning before work, they hug for a full 20 seconds. “I can’t even believe its effects, and now we both crave it. It’s so nourishing. I can feel his heartbeat; we both calm the eff down when we slow down and realize what matters. We are here to witness life together.” Another reason she loves it? They do it out in the open on purpose, so the kids see it, setting an excellent example of how loving home life can be. Something so simple and elegant is just another reminder that Mother Nature has given us (almost) all we need to feel slightly more balance in our lives. We often make it so much more complicated than it needs to be! No excuses: Everyone has at least 20 seconds.
