Man Up? More Like Man Out: Talking Mental Health This June

Forget the six-pack abs and the poker face, this June we’re celebrating a different kind of strength: mental fortitude! Yeah, you heard that right, dudes. We’re talking about mental health in Singapore, because let’s be honest, sometimes even superheroes need a therapist.

Singapore’s a pressure cooker, and men often get the brunt of it. Work deadlines looming, wallets feeling lighter than a feather, and let’s not even mention the never-ending game of “who can grill the best satay.” It’s no wonder sometimes your brain feels like it’s doing a Riverdance on a pogo stick.

But here’s the thing, guys: talking about it doesn’t make you weak, it makes you unstoppable. Think about it, Bruce Wayne wouldn’t be Batman without a good therapist (seriously, that cape obsession needs unpacking).

So Ditch the Stigma and Do This Instead:

Grab Your Bro and Go for a Hike: Nature is like a giant stress-relief button. Hit up and unleash your inner Tarzan (minus the loincloth, maybe). But, dont forget to wear a comfortable hiking shoes as you dont want to hurt yourself even more.

Level Up Your Game Night: Board games are fun, but what about games that get you talking? “Cards Against Humanity” is great, but maybe try something that encourages real connection.

Channel Your Inner Artist: Studies say art therapy is awesome for the mind. Who cares if your pottery creation looks more like a lump of clay than a masterpiece? It’s the process, man!

Download a Meditation App: Meditation isn’t chanting or sitting cross-legged (unless you’re into that). It’s about chilling your mind and getting some perspective. Think of it like a mental power nap.

Remember, Dudes, You’re Not Alone
