The Benefits of Hugging
It might sound simple, but hug is more powerful than you think.
But other than making you feel warm inside, what does hugging do to us?
From curbing anxiety to fostering feelings of security, see our roundup of the mental health benefits of hugging below.
擁抱的好處
聽起來可能很簡單,但擁抱比你想象的更強大。
但是除了讓你感到內心溫暖,擁抱對我們有什么影響?
從抑制焦慮到培養(yǎng)安全感,請看下面我們對擁抱對心理健康益處的綜述。
1. It reduces feelings of loneliness
Hugging releases oxytocin in the brain, which is the hormone also known as "the bonding molecule" given that it can elevate feelings of intimacy and helps stimulate social bonding between two people.
High levels of oxytocin can boost romantic attachment but they can also reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Cognitive neuroscience professor Brian Hare told The Washington Post that even hugging a dog can offer these benefits.
"Dogs have somehow hijacked this oxytocin bonding pathway, so that just by making eye contact, or by playing and hugging our dog, the oxytocin in both us and our dog goes up," he said.
1它減少了孤獨感
擁抱會在大腦中釋放催產素,這種激素也被稱為“結合分子”,因為它能提升親密感,有助于刺激兩個人之間的社會聯(lián)系。
高水平的催產素可以促進浪漫的依戀,但也可以減少孤獨感和孤獨感。
認知神經科學教授布萊恩·黑爾告訴《華盛頓郵報》,即使擁抱一只狗也能帶來這些好處。
他說:“狗不知何故劫持了催產素的結合途徑,因此,僅僅通過眼神交流,或者玩耍和擁抱我們的狗,我們和我們的狗體內的催產素都會上升?!薄?/p>
2. It can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
In addition to oxytocin, research shows that hugging someone releases dopamine in the brain,
which is known as the pleasure hormone given that is often associated with prompting feelings of happiness.
People with mood disorders, such as depression, typically have low levels of dopamine, so hugging might help rectify this a bit.
2它可以減輕焦慮和抑郁的癥狀
除了催產素,研究表明擁抱某人會釋放大腦中的多巴胺,
它被稱為愉悅荷爾蒙,通常與促進幸福感有關。
患有情緒障礙(如抑郁癥)的人通常多巴胺水平較低,因此擁抱可能有助于糾正這一點。
3. It can help protect against stress
A study of 404 healthy adults conducted in 2014 by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh found that frequent hugs reduced people's susceptibility to stress.
This was due to participants feeling greater levels of social support as a result of regular hugging, which the study's authors also found protected them from infection.
三。它可以幫助抵御壓力
匹茲堡卡內基梅隆大學(Carnegie Mellon University)的研究人員2014年對404名健康成年人進行的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),經常擁抱會降低人們對壓力的敏感度。
這是因為經常擁抱會讓參與者感受到更大程度的社會支持,研究作者還發(fā)現(xiàn),擁抱可以保護他們免受感染。

㈠一技與骨氣,向上的活力。
一個人,無錢、無貌,都沒有關系,只要有一技(廣義,不必一級作家、八級英語、十級鉗工,勤快、善于溝通,有時也是技藝)和骨氣傍身,加上一張身份證,一樣可以走四方、闖天下。
人生,有時可以極簡。除了躺著就是吃,要么就是打游戲,那不是極簡生活,而是懶得極致。
真正的極簡有著向上的活力。
㈡生命是一張弓,那弓弦是夢想。箭手在何處呢?
我見過一些俊美的弓,用堅韌的木料制成,了無節(jié)痕,和諧秀逸如神之眉;但仍無用。
我見過一些行將震顫的弦線,在靜寂中戰(zhàn)栗著,仿佛從動蕩的內臟中抽出的腸線。它們繃緊著,即將奏鳴了……它們想射出銀矢——那音符——在空氣的湖面上拂起漣漪,可是它們在等待什么?終于松弛了,永遠沒有人能聽到樂聲了。
震顫沉寂,箭枝紛散;箭手何時來捻弓呢?
請拉緊你生命的弓弦。
㈢臺灣電影《練習曲》,講述即將大學畢業(yè)的明相,獨自騎著自行車,用7天時間環(huán)游臺灣島的故事。這個有聽力障礙的大男孩,背著破吉他上路,看盡了風光,也遇到了形形色色的人和事。他那句樸素的心聲“有些事,現(xiàn)在不做,就永遠不會做了”,更是引發(fā)無數(shù)人的共鳴。
真心想做的事,即使前路茫茫,有許多未知的變數(shù),還是要去做。即使這件事不容易,自己心里有不少的忐忑不安,還是要放手一搏。這,是為了真正活得自由吧?人的內心,是容易自相矛盾的。熟悉的小環(huán)境會帶來安全感,但如果只停留在安全地帶,不越雷池半步,又會覺得受束縛。走出安全區(qū),走向更廣闊的天地,那也可以說,是在尋求與更大的天地相融合。
與身邊的其他人、與所在的環(huán)境、與整個世界有連接。
㈣當我們有決策權時,就必須為了弱者而堅持原則。沉默很容易,順水推舟也容易,不分青紅皂白地去迎合自己的利益也容易,只是世界會因此壞下去。
