Exercising/working out helped me through my separation and eventual divorce. It helped by 1. Getting out stress and frustration in a productive way. 2. Got my mind off things if even just for an hour a day 3. Allowed me to socialize with people who had no knowledge of what was going on in my personal life. Once i started feeling better, other areas slowly got better
I think a big part of that is the discipline that working out regularly provides, and the self esteem that comes from it (aside from the fact that being physically healthy and working out increases endorphins that lead to a positive mood).
There is gratification in exercising self discipline, it is what elevates people over other animals, (basically the same thing that elevates conservatives over leftists),
