Unconsciously, we move our fingers across our backs in motions similar to those of scratching. In no time at all, we’re scratching our backs, our eyes closed, experiencing what can only be called a ‘temporary paradise’. This makes us feel so relieved that it is a legitimate struggle to get back to the spreadsheet on the screen. Have you ever realized how this tiny little scratching action, even devoid of an itch, causes you to feel much better than you did 60 seconds ago before you unknowingly started scratching your back? Do watch the video to know why.\n
