Depends on the cause
Low iq? Trauma/personality disorder? Adhd? Just a personality quirk?
Get medication and/or therapy if its clinical.

If its just that you’re a dumbass or struggle to control yourself then simply learn to pause and treat your emotions as signals rather than commands, and aknowledge the negative consequences of you lashing out in the circumstance

personnaly what I do is detach myself, Idc about the urges I just don't react

I'm doing interoception to bring my consciousness back into myself but doing the reverse "exteroception meditation" should help you do the opposite

i’ve been trying to find out the same thing

i’m extremely impulsive, not because of short temper, i’m actually very good at controlling stress. but if i decide i want something i do it no matter the consequences or the aftermath

You can't. Or you can. I had ten drinks when I said I'd have none. Now I have the adventure of random decisions which are objectively bad.
