call your mother
If you have a good relationship with your mother, she will probably be the first to call you with good or bad news. or so. Once you hear her voice, you may feel calm.

In terms of oxytocin production, a phone call with mom is the equivalent of talking to her in person, the researchers note. You will not achieve the same result by texting or app. An important caveat for the study is that it was only conducted among women.
