Try DBT Skills: Look up dbtherapy. It suggests that we can regulate our emotions best when we reduce our emotional vulnerability=take good care of ourselves (health, diet, avoid alcohol/drugs, sleep, and exercise). Also look into skill distress tolerance= 1.Distract yourself, 2. Self-soothing, 3. Improving the moment, 4. Focusing on pros and cons. 1 important skill you already have is labeling your emotions.

Reduce stress: Emotions including anger are indicators of how we feel. The emotion does not need controlling the behavior is the problem. Identify why you are angry and think of ways to deal with the problem instead of constantly being angry. If this happens over many different things you may have other issues going on. Try exercise and if you need more see a therapist to get diagnosed.
