Release Your Stress While Doing These Activities In Metro Manila

Life can sometimes be difficult and there are times when even if other people see your life as inspiring because it’s picture perfect, it’s still totally valid to feel stressed or even anxious. With everything that has happened in the world recently on top of our responsibilities, it really can get overwhelming.

Since your environment or surroundings can be one of the factors that makes you feel anxious, it’s also important to know that simple habits can help alleviate stress just like cleaning up your room or even taking a bath. But living in the city can really be tense and might heighten your stress.

While city living has its own perks, the difficulty in commuting or living in a small space with little connection to nature can also take a toll on your mental health. But don’t fret, there are lots of activities that you can try to unwind and just be free from all the worries.

Whether you’re the type of person that is vocal or expressive when on a heightened emotion or the silent one, there’s always an activity just waiting for you to try. Here’s a quick list of things you can do to uplift your mood.

Our mental health was tested during the pandemic and it took a toll on most of us which is why there were tons of activities that suddenly became trendy at the time. If you are not afraid of heights, you might want to consider indoor climbing gyms around the metro. It may just look like a normal day out but it will do you wonders once you feel that euphoria after reaching the top. Climbers tend to focus on their strategy and movement to reach the wall so they don’t have that moment to overthink. This is a good activity not only for your mental health but also physical.

There are those moments when you feel like the stress just keeps on piling up to the point that you need to release and although this is an aggressive type of de-stressing, channeling your emotions to destruction might just do the job. You can find unused papers that you can shred or even go on break rooms for you to break things responsibly. If you also want a distraction, you can head to the Breakout Philippines’ website to try interactive games for you to divert your attention for a while into something fun.

Although not for everyone, other people find it calming when they release their tension and rage through the shooting range. Luckily, there are several shooting ranges around Manila so you can easily find a range near you. Aside from relieving stress to some, you can try this out just for the sake of experiencing new things.Getting out of your comfort zone may seem tough at first but any skill learned might be helpful to you and your mental health.

Studies have shown that exercising including cycling can reduce feelings of anxiety and stress which lowers the potential to progress into something more serious. Biking around the city may be a bit challenging if you’re not used to cycling along with vehicles on the road so if you feel stressed about it, it would just defeat its purpose.

Luckily, there are several bike-friendly areas in the metro where you can cycle peacefully. One of the great biking experiences that you might want to try is riding a bamboo bike in Intramuros. This way, you’re now releasing your stress through physical activity and at the same time learn more about the history of the country’s capital and peacefully bike around the area.

And since the goal is to find a way to lessen unnecessary tension, you can book a tour in advance or simply rent a bamboo bike at a discounted rate here.

Sometimes all we need to do is to let loose and just enjoy the day without worrying about anything and what better way to celebrate your free day than to be at the luxurious XYLO at The Palace.

Believe it or not, going on a road trip can reduce your stress level and reset your mind. When traveling, your body and mind are alert and connected which makes you focused on just driving and not being distracted.

No motorbike? No problem! You can easily rent a motorcycle of your own choice through Klook and roam around the city. Who knows, you might just discover a new hangout spot for you.

It’s always healthy for us to keep on learning new things and you also feel a sense of joy and fulfillment once you’ve mastered a new skill. You’ve probably heard about how physical exercises can help reduce stress levels and we shouldn’t take stress lightly because it can manifest into a more serious health issue.

So when you start a martial arts training, you only not learn a new skill but it will also leave you feeling good about yourself in a sense that you are taking control of your life choices and you choose to nip the problem in the bud.
