This winter, I've been staying quite active physically. That means regularly going to the gym and to the swimming pool. What I really like about these sports is that afterwards I am pretty much worn out, which, paradoxically, is very pleasant. If you're worn out, you basically have no more energy left for stress or anxiety, and you can finally have some deserved rest. When it's sunny outside, I also enjoy walking and listening to music or podcasts. However, as I've written before, Russian winters aren't particularly conducive to long walks, so I have to stick with indoor activities of necessity. Besides, I've been struggling to find some decent podcasts lately. Maybe you could recommend me some?

"Paradoxically" doesn't quite feel right here. I would use "paradoxically" to describe a nonsensical situation which seems to logically contradict itself in some way. Like if being happy made you really sad. But being worn out and feeling pleasant don't seem like direct opposites enough to warrant a "paradoxically".

Very well written!

I don't listen to a whole lot of podcasts, though one of the few I do listen to is a comedy podcast called Distractible. However, sometimes their jokes can get pretty vulgar and gross (especially their more recent episodes I think). It's a podcast that maybe shouldn't be listened to on an open speaker.
