Punch and box your frustrations away

We know that boxing is hardly considered a “soothing” and calming activity. But boxing or kickboxing can definitely be an outlet for pent-up aggression or frustrations that need to be expressed.

Luckily, there are many boxing places in Singapore where you can box, kick, and jab your way out of stress. 

You can choose one with personal trainers to guide you on the right posture and moves, and look into those that have piped-in music to keep your juices flowing.

Sip some good coffee or tea and watch the day go by 

There’s a good reason why places serving high tea and the best coffee in Singapore often come with muted interiors, quiet tucked-away corners, and soothing music. 

It’s because most of them recognize how people just want to enjoy a good cup of aromatic brew and let their hair down in the process. These places are conducive for quiet conversations and even reading a favourite book. 

Or if you want to stay home and be surrounded by familiar things, you can always plug in that electric kettle and brew your own tea.

But if hugging a happy furry creature is your particular cup of tea (pun unintended), then consider visiting a dog cafe, instead!

Treat yourself to a spa day

The great thing about spas is that they can cater to anyone’s idea of a destressing experience. If you think getting a facial or a foot reflexology will make you feel (and look) good, then go ahead and get yourself those services because you deserve them. 

Walk in a park
