Re: rough time
I have found that I need to both release some of the extra energy that comes with anger, but not so much that I get worked up and more angry. That is why physical activity like sport, exercise and gardening can help.
Sometimes I need to directly counter the anger with Thought challenging, reimagining a better way forward, and various meditations. That is to bring me down into a calm contemplative state. It can prayerful or prayerlike or a gentle mindfulness practise. Accepting thoughts without magnifying them.

Re: rough time
I went to gyms for about 8 years @MDT
I recently considered going back to my old gym as I can just afford it, but am more pleased with my decision to do online qi gong videos. It costs less, but is also gentler and more in line with my values than the gym with its loud music and different vibe.
I never regret going for that period of time tho. Just diff needs now.
Music ... can calm or arouse ...

Re: rough time
That's one thing I HATE about the gym @Appleblossom
The music is always so loud and it's not even good. Thank God for noise cancelling headphones I say. What is qi gong?

Re: rough time
It is a chinese exercise, apparently a bit easier than Tai CHi. When I started Tai Chi I had just given borth, but had 3 kids by then, did not have the space and could not keep it up.
This will be gentler and I hope I can build up and do Tai Chi again.
I reposted your Hymn of Cherubim on the christian thread. @MDT DId not want them to miss out.
