In my opinion controlling your breathing is extremely important because it has been shown to help reduce anxiety, tension and to genuinely calm you. This technique works best if you stand up straight with your arms by your side. Let out a deep breathe, hold for a couple of minutes and then breathe in deeply again holding for a couple of minutes, continue this several times.

There you have 7 tips on dealing with frustration, even if one of these tips does not help you try the other because different techniques work for different people. If your frustration is causing you big problems, such as health issues, then it would be wise to seek professional help.
