Hi Wilson,
Well this is a hard question to just simply answer, but I will try to be brief too.
To first control your emotions, you need to understand what you are reacting to. For example, if you are happy whenever you see an ice-cream truck, or sad when you go into the subway, you need to try and understand yourself, why and how these things happening affect your emotions.
If you are annoyed at work, and it is always during meetings, while the meetings might be the annoying thing, sometimes it might be deeper than that. It could be someone specifically talking, maybe the zoom the never works properly, your audio doesnt work, your camera is blurry... whatever it is, understanding what actually causes the reaction, the response from your emotions is a good start to controlling them.
The second step would be to try and avoid these situations if they create negative emotions, or try and seek them if they make you feel good. If there is a colleague you do not like, maybe it is best to try and avoid meeting them in the office. If there is a specific seat you like to seat at that makes you feel more comfortable and work better, maybe you should try to get to the office early and get that spot.
This step is about trying to avoid or create situations that you can control to then control your own emotions.
The final step is to understand what helps you either increase those emotions if they are good, or reduce them if they are bad.
For example, when I get stressed at work, I have two solutions to reduce that stress and enable me to work better: either just stand up, and working while standing, or going on a walk. These two things make me feel better, and enable me to refocus my thought process.
I hope this helps you out/
Good luck!
