You are newly qualified - as once was I. Don't be shy of paying for an instructor to go out with you - I still do several times each year - as there is always more to learn. How to hands blusterier days could be one of those occasions.
One thing that has worked fro me: set your minimum clearance / fwd vision for maintained speed now (on the ground) and stick to those limits when you are in the air. It's all too easy to "try just a little harder" when things start to close in. Mine is 600 ft / 60 knts. I have the benefit of a radio altimeter, which I set 250ft above my minimum clearance altitude so if I am being pushed lower I get the warning long before reaching my personal threshold; and on the odd occasion I have heard the horn I have turned around and gone back for a cup of tea.
Enjoy your flying
