Are there healthy ways to control my anger and be a nicer person?

Yes: Prayer, meditation, deep breathing, less tobacco, less alcohol, more fruits and vegetables in the diet, exercise regularly. There are medicines that can help as well if all those things are not helping as much as you would like. Counseling is another great strategy too. Go see your doctor.

Anger: One simple tip- count to ten before acting on the urge to impulsively harm someone physically or emotionally. Reduce anger by deep breathing. Breath in deeply ; slowly through the nostrils. Hold air in lungs for a 5 count before slowly exhaling through an open mouth. Repeat until you cool your jets. Focus on your breathing not what is making you angry. Cognitive behavioral therapy is excellent for.
