Day 9: 28 Mindful Hugs
The picture above is a great guide for acceptable office contact. The Mindful Hug is a little different in that it takes more time, and there is more emphasis on REALLY being present with the other person. I work with mostly women in my office. While we're not always the most affectionate bunch, there are occasions when we hug. Everyone at work knows about this project, so they are even more receptive when they see me coming for my daily hug. One person even sought me out for a hug.
Most of my hugs today happened at work. I helped produce an event where nearly 175 people attended. I have worked with most of the attendees in the past, so it was nice to see so many familiar faces. 28 people were happy to receive a mindful hug from me.
I must admit that I am grateful to have had the opportunity to give so many hugs in one setting. It takes the pressure off the approaching weekend, because I know that I will not see as many people.
