There’s no doubt about it: meditation and quiet reflection can go a long way in reducing stress levels and pent-up frustration. But, sometimes, the last thing you feel like doing is siting cross-legged on the floor or brewing camomile tea, especially when all you want to do after a long day at the office is recreate Connie Corleone's famous dish-breaking scene from The Godfather. Fortunately, Hysterics has found a way to let you do just that, albeit in a healthy, constructive manner.

Subscribing to the mantra of “Break, Exhale, Repeat,” the stress-busting company has created an environment in which anyone from overworked nine-to-fivers to frazzled mothers of toddlers can take out their frustration on physical objects, such as old TV sets, computers, and glassware. Decked out with a sledgehammer, baseball bat, or even just their bare hands, clients can cathartically release all of their pent-up anger in a more fun (and constructive) way than bottling up their emotions, being unreasonably impatient with loved ones, or going off on strangers in the subway about the disappointing finale of Lost.
