I always wonder though - how do you voluntarily "don't let nerves happen"?
Mr. Rubix also once said that the trick is to pretend that your run doesn't count. But really, how can one so easily trick him or herself mentally? I sure can't.

The mind isn't stupid; if you're having a great run, your brain will definitely wipe off any notion that it's a calm, ordinary playthrough.
