The idiom “to keep one’s temper” means to remain calm and not get angry, even in a difficult or irritating situation.
For example:
She wanted to shout at the rude customer, but she kept her temper and answered politely.
It is the opposite of “to lose one’s temper, ” which means to become angry.

To keep one's temper: to maintain control of one's composure despite being angry or upset.
That can be only possible when someone is in a good mood at that time they remain calm and easily controlled their temper.

Controlling the temper drives you to the normal mode. An example sentence: "To keep his temper, he used to hear the songs".

For example, one can also hold their anger by remaining quiet.

Temper means anger. So when are trying to control anger, your mind will become relaxed.
