The effects mentally of throwing everything in SPY vs Managing your assets yourself and making trades several times a month.

Hello all, maybe a stupid question but I have a feeling there's some people out there who can answer. I've never invested in the markets as a whole, just individual stocks. Nothing crazy but I've owned maybe 10 or so in my life, I usually hold them long. But, I have started to feel like I was always checking the share price and I never was really fully present and it was effecting my mental health very badly. So I decided to take a pause on the stocks and am all cash for a while getting 4.1%. It has helped my mental health so much and help me.enjoy life more. But I know long term I do need to invest at some level. So for those who have done both, if you just throw your money in spy, does that help feel less like gambling and compulsive behavior and help you enjoy your life more? Or are you just as addicted to checking the price of spy as you were to your individual stock prices?
