ODO – Optimum Daily Oxytocin! The science is with me! Dasher Keltner, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley had this to say in his article, “Hands on Research: The Science of Touch”:
“In recent years, a wave of studies has documented some incredible emotional and physical health benefits that come from touch. This research is suggesting that touch is truly fundamental to human communication, bonding, and health.”
That’s why I’ve coined the phrase Optimum Daily Oxytocin. The phrase challenges us to consider touch as a necessary component to wellness. Because of the health benefits that cuddling provides, I’ve started seeing it as an ongoing wellness practice rather than a one time event.
Are You Getting Your Optimum Daily Oxytocin (ODO)?
To get you thinking about this topic, I’ve got three questions for you.
- Think about your week last week. How much touch did you give and receive?
- How was the quality of the touch you gave or received? Did you feel nourished by it?
- How was the quantity of touch last week. Was it a satisfying amount?
To help you boost your opportunities for touch, here are some new offerings.
