Quality girlfriend time is good for your health!

Sometimes it's so difficult to find time to just hang out with your girlfriends, between work and working to keep it together, you barely have time for yourself!
According to the head of psychiatry at Stanford University, one of the best things a woman can do for her health is to "nurture her relationships with her girlfriends."
Apparently, women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to cope with stress and difficult life experiences. Physically this quality "girlfriend time" helps us to create more seratonin-a brain chemical that promotes feelings of well-being and happiness. Women share feelings whereas men often "create" relationships around activities like jobs, sports... They rarely sit down with a buddy and talk about how they feel about certain things, while women do it all the time. We open our hearts to our girlfriends and share our feelings, and evidently that is very good for our health. According to the same study, spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as working out at a gym and the failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking!
Walking away from any conversation with a girlfriend always makes you feel refreshed, happy, and stress-free!


I hope this post will get you thinking about your own girlfriends and everything you shared with them:  the laughs, the cries, and everything in between. We are all very lucky to have the friends we do; it’s just a bonus that girlfriend time is also excellent for our health!   

And just like Carrie bradshaw in Sex and the City said:"They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style"



Cheers to that!

P.S: Love to my sisters and my besties!
