5 Benefits of Starting Each Day with a 6-Second Hug 1️⃣ Releases Oxytocin (The Bonding Hormone) – A long, intentional hug triggers oxytocin, which reduces stress, lowers anxiety, and deepens emotional connection. It literally makes you feel safer and closer to your spouse. 2️⃣ Sets a Positive Tone for the Day – How you start your morning affects everything that follows. A 6-second hug first thing in the morning creates warmth, reassurance, and a sense of unity before tackling the day’s challenge

They are the “same” but they don’t have the same effects! Oxytocin: produced in the brain, sent into the blood stream in pulses which produce contractions AND natural pain relief! Yep, the very thing your body produces to make contractions stronger also reduces your pain. Pitocin or Syntocinon: given via IV and given in constant high doses. Creates stronger and more frequent contractions vs. oxytocin. Much higher risk of low oxygen for baby. Doesn’t create pain relieving sensations like oxytocin
