Need a way to melt away stress and worry? Invite pals over to chat, watch a movie, play a game, munch pizza or do any other activity that helps you bond. It’s not just fun—a University of Michigan study found that fostering an emotional connection with your girlfriends triggers a surge of progesterone, a hormone that soothes and relaxes you.
