We find ourselves being busy, far too busy for true connection - but dis you know that a 30 second or longer hug releases a flood of happy feelings and creates an overall feeling of acceptance and bonding between each other?

As much as we might be racing from place to place, only connecting virtually or in quick get togethers, taking time for touch and to embrace each other is truly one small beneficial thing you can do to improve the day of someone close to you.

What if the things we dismiss first have the most to teach us? In this episode of One Small Thing with Dr Caroline, we consider how easily we focus on what is obvious while overlooking what is valuable and how this tendency influences the way we think about ageing, experience and the contribution of others. Life is rarely defined by first impressions, and sometimes the greatest insight comes from looking beyond the thing that first captured our attention.
