The biggest thing that has helped me has been mindfulness. When you sense a situation is about to trigger an outburst, IMMEDIATELY make yourself aware of how you are feeling, relay this back to yourself in your head or outloud, but don’t allow it to escalate. Say to yourself "I am upset, which I accept. It is ok to be upset, and I acknowledge and accept that I am angry."
Another tip is if you are getting angry, count to 10 before responding to the situation at all. If you are confronted with an anger-trigger, mentally count to 10 before opening your mouth. Breathe try to accept it and let it pass. With practice you can get yourself out of angry outbursts fairly well.
Good luck!!

Yoga. The whole counting to ten thing to cool off. Just walk away so no one gets hurt or something breaks. Try to just be cool and relaxed at all times no matter what.

count to 10 before you say something if you are getting really worked up
clench your fists instead of taking it on other people
drink some water – or splash your face with water
think of realistic hypothetical situations that might anger you and what a GOOD/HEALTHY response from you would be
try deep breathing excercises
maybe try a yoga or kickboxing class (and get toned which is a plus!)

Put it in prospective. Basicly your brain is in the loop you need something to break the cycle if you put it in prospective just look at it how it really is you usally will have to take your self away from the situation to do that but if you do i find that i stop being so angry

Sweety, how nice, an angry sweet person. There are no set anger management practices except that which you yourself will follow. Start with a full stop of contention by breathing deeply, counting to twenty – not ten, and picturing another place or time when everything was pleasant and you felt relaxed and happy. It takes some doing but having to practice several times makes it easier. An example: when giving a lecture (speech) a famous teacher once suggested that standing in front of a huge audience you should have an image of that audience without clothes on and that should make you feel relaxed and having no trouble giving your speech.
