Congrats on owning your own Heli, I would suggest that if you fly twice of more per week, staying well inside your own ability range, plus getting to know your Heli and its workings inside out, by doing a longer than normal pre-flight then when finished do a longer than normal post flight, spend time with the guys who will be servicing the machine and really get to know what is what so that eventually you will have total confidence in the thing that is keeping you in the air, and by combining that sort of built up knowledge along with more and more eyes and backside time with air underneath you ,...the jitters as you say will soon disappear because you will feel more confident in the Heli but also your own ability to understand what is happening and what is the right sort of noise and what sounds different, plus all the vibrations and rattles that happen in a normal flight in good wx and bad wx..

Just get used to it all, the more you fly the better it will be.

until you are really good, dont fly into tight places, never try to show off to any pax, the words "Watch this" will kill everyone on board, so just
have fun, fly safe, land Safer always.
