Hi trying to get off social media but that was my way of relaxing even though I saw how harmful it was for me.. but I don’t watch any movies or tv and don’t read non Jewish books ( I used to and stopped a long time ago).. not sure what I could do on a daily basis to just relax after stressful day of work and kids .. and exercise doesn’t relax me even though I try to do a few times a week for energy so besides for good food what do u do?

Read light, fun books--I like beachy reads and romances. Oops. Sorry just saw that you don't read nonjewish books. Are there any light Jewish books? What about knitting or crocheting? Or listening to podcasts.

I read magazines. I am from Lakewood so I love the voice, the shopper.

sudoku, going through the weekly circulars, reading the paper, talking on the phone, taking a shower, playing solitary games or with kids, going shopping, crafts, therapy, music
I am neurotic and have a stressfull life. I do all these in addition to secular things. I would love to one day only do the above.

Go back to non-Jewish books. There is so much wonderful stuff out there, and the good stuff beats social media by a mile. So often, people give up high culture but keep the lowest elements. It's a mistake.

This.
Someone got really offended when I said that.
But it’s true.

Get a hobby, any hobby. Cake decorating, woodworking, bird watching, doesn't matter.

Something you can do mindlessly. Call a friend and while on the phone clean up, knit, clean, write, draw, etc.
Personally I just like reorganizing my day by checking in with my planner and I'm guilty of netflix or youtube. But you can find "Kosher" media on youtube like cleaning videos or cooking shows. It satisfies the craving to watch something but its nothing bad.

I don't have social media/access to tv, movies and I'm so happy I don't....
to relax, I'll read a magazine, imamother, jewish news sites, browse online for clothing....
when I really need to relax or want a longer activity, once in a while I'll rent a movie from mostlymusic or whatever. robin garbose is amazing.
I feel that whatever we watch/read really affects our Neshamos, even as adults...
