Agree totally with Whirls about the relaxing bit.

It's taken me over 20 hours to start to learn this, very simple, but extremely hard part of the PPL course 'cos I was just as driven to succeed as Mad Bear and screwing it up and making things worse.

I still slip back into the old way of thinking when it's a gusty day and have to try so hard to not let it matter. (Even to the point of trying to tune out my instructor and rabbiting away to myself like a demented looney )
