How to Relieve Anxiety in Coconut Creek, FL

Anxiety can be debilitating. We all know that. It can affect our careers, our educations, our relationships, and even our physical health. Thankfully, there are many ways in which we can manage stress, many of which can be easily found within the community of Coconut Creek, FL. 

If you’re a resident of Coconut Creek or live in Broward County, we have some great resources, like anxiety therapy, to help you cope with anxiety.  Even if you don’t live in South Florida, these ideas will help you find resources of your own.

Resources to Cope With Anxiety

1. Get active at a park. 

Exercise is a great stress reducer, and what better place to do it than in one of our wonderful parks. Try Sabal Pines Park with the kids, Tradewinds Park & Stables to try the disc golf course, visit a farm or fish, or Quiet Waters Park for some water sports. 

2. Embrace nature. 

When we get out in nature, we are sometimes forced to slow down and appreciate things outside of ourselves. We can get a glimpse of the wider world around us and we can break free from our immediate anxieties. Some wonderful places to get out include Butterfly World and the Fern Forest Nature Center.

3. Socialize with loved ones. 

Anxiety can often lead to isolation from our friends and family. Fight that urge. Instead make plans to grab lunch with a friend, take a couple of hours to shop with a family member, or go see a movie on a date. All of this and more can be done at the Promenade at Coconut Creek. 

4. Journal and reflect.

Sometimes when we’re so busy with work, family, school, etc. we can forget to just take a break. One thing we can do to slow down and figure out what triggers us, and what gives us joy is journaling. Sometimes even just 10 minutes a day can help us gain some clarity into our thoughts. Spend some time journaling (and a bite to eat) at The Alchemist Café, or The Modern Rose. 

5. Eat nourishing food. 

Speaking of a bite to eat, did you know food can affect anxiety? Sweeteners, like aspartame and high fructose corn syrup, can disrupt your normal nervous system function, which can lead you to feel more anxious. Eating more nutritious foods can help us stay physically and mentally healthy. Some great options for a nutritious bite near Coconut Creek include True Food Kitchen and Carrot Express.  

6. Get involved. 

Just like when we get out in nature, getting involved in something, like community service or volunteering, helps us get “outside” of ourselves and our everyday stresses. It also helps us meet new people and begin to create a greater network of support. Some great volunteering options around Coconut Creek are The Beauty Initiative, Morning Day Community Solutions, and the Florida Humane Society.
