I found out that 4WD'ing, bikes etc are good to get the male aggression and risk taking out of my blood into a productive activity(well, within reason of course,)
Also found out introducing myself to meditation, nature, writing and music(learning to play an instrument and fool around with it) etc helped with the mid life crisis as well as finding out
a whole different side of me.
It can be pottery, painting, sketching, or any kind of soothing hobby your natural self can connect with.
One of my mate's been practicing martial arts for years, to get the aggression out as well as a soothing technique.
He does get beaten up occasionally and whines about the aches and pains, but for the most part, he's happy about the outcome.
I prefer the non contact version of it, as I can't afford to accidentally break wrists, ribs, teeth, etc.
So, I say with confidence, find more soothing hobbies that you can connect with, mate. When you find the benefit and the overall balance they give you.
you'll always find time for them.
