imo, emotions like anger are our bodies way of demanding change. what needs to change? is it internal or external? is it in your control / sphere of influence? i think the best way to reduce anger and frustration is to answer those questions and make the necessary changes. that's just my experience though so idk

Make sure you’re eating and sleeping and not overdoing the caffeine. I like to chew gum, so I can just chew harder when I’m mad instead of saying some bullshit.

Sometimes I get in moods where I get very close to doing irrational actions to try and get rid of annoyances. Whenever that happens, I like to write down my exact thought process and read it over again. It usually helps me realize how silly I’m being.
