Guess from the list below what the optimal number of meaningful touches per day is.
a. One....a hug a day, keeps the blues away.
b. Two....a kiss in the morning, a kiss at night...it keeps us from having a fight.
c. Three..(I can't think of a stupid rhyme for this one)
d. Four...Now I implore...is it really just four?
e. Five...Five it's what keeps us alive.
f. Eight...Now that would be just GREAT.
*if you you guessed f you are correct! Do you remember any time in your life where you did not get enough meaningful touches a day? (ex..I'm talking about hugs, pats on the shoulder, kiss on the cheek) I remember in my early college days I would go MONTHS without a hug. I was in a new state, with no family and all my friends were brand new. I didn't really notice how much I missed hugs until I went home fulfilled my "eight meaningful touches" quota each day. Many female college student suffer from depression....do you think this could have to do with the fact that they are not getting enough meaningful touches? I know hugs always brighten my day...what do you think?
