Relax your grip on the wheel.

Go on YouTube, watch a few videos of people flying in gusty conditions in the 737, and endeavour to do the opposite. While frantically thrashing the controls around does little more than look good on TV, it makes passengers feel sick, puts you at risk of PIO, and makes it difficult for PM to assess your inputs. It also translates very badly to any other type, particularly a heavy FBW aircraft.
