Breathing excercises, 4 seconds in, 4 seconds out. Make sure you do a longer exhale if needed.
Self-talk: dont always react to the first thing in your head. Always reflect on what you think. Dont be too hard on yourself or others. When speaking to yourself, do so with respect.
Remember this is an imperfect world, but your emotions are the one thing we can control. Controlling our emotions is like building a muscle, it takes practice and time. You will make mistakes along the way, and you won't be fixed over night.
Let it all go and focus on you. You can do this

My initial thoughts/self talk are always negative. It takes a lot of practice to ignore those thoughts but it is crucial for our happiness to try and turn them into positive thoughts.
Your brain is a muscle and right now it's impusles are to be negative. So it will take time to rebuild that muscle to think positively. You are retraining yourself. It takes time and a lot of effort, but you can do it.
Keep working on yourself every day. You are worth it. The results are worth it. You got this!
