According to the established tradition, this unusual holiday is celebrated mainly among youth and students. It was there that it was born. Once upon a time, back in the 70s of the last century, a strange initiative arose among Western youth. According to the project, it is known for sure that it was caused by the general trends and trends of those absolutely stunning years. It was a kind of protest against the ever-increasing tension and a kind of response that was not only noticed, but also heard, supported and spread all over the world.
Simple and friendly hugs, devoid of any ambiguity, can encourage and support, promote a good mood and bring some peace into the everyday bustle, which is filled not only with endless worries, but also with all kinds of anxieties. This is a unique method of psychological support, which is recognized even in a strict scientific environment. The benefit from such benevolent gestures is sometimes quite significant.
It is known that students are one of the most progressive layers of our society. The student environment is quite a powerful force, sometimes unstoppable, full of unexpected solutions and universal in many of its manifestations. International Hug Day, which is celebrated on January 21, is a clear confirmation of that.
Tolerance and wisdom, the ability to change something for the better and not only in one's life is a real gift. Very often we ask ourselves: what can we do? The answer to this question is brilliantly simple and takes place even in the plane of the emergence of this international Day. Selflessness and friendliness, openness and impartiality, desire to live and peace of mind - what many of us lack, but this is something that you just need to claim, just start using, as it is all inherent to us. It is already embedded in our nature.
On this wonderful Day, I send my hugs to everyone who is dear to me, to everyone whom I do not know, but would like to support. I congratulate everyone on the International Hug Day, the day of open selfless support, the day of caring people!
