We’ve all missed human touch over the last few months but take heart, there are lots of ways to feel the joy of touch without it - until we hug again
Our theme for our September issue is ‘touch’ but there are so many ways in we can enjoy and interpret that. On page 34, Rebecca Frank looks at how we can compemnsate for a lack of cuddles currently. Here are a few simple ideas:
Take a long shower or a bath and notice the sensation of the water against your skin.
Rub some oil into your body after your bath or shower and give yourself a face massage whilst cleansing your skin.
Do things with your hands like baking or gardening and go barefoot.
Talk to people face to face if possible, or on the phone rather than emailing or texting.
Listen to music that makes you feel uplifted or relaxed, depending on your mood.
Make sure you do something meaningful and enjoyable for yourself every day.
Make conversation with people you meet while you’re out walking or shopping.
