Rather than re-hashing all the good advice already given do you ride off road?
How about getting yourself a small dirt bike or failing that doing an off road course. It'll teach you how to get loads of feel for your bike, to be relaxed on it. You'll learn subtle, precise throttle, brake and clutch control and get to feel comfortable on a bike that's moving around under you.
Then there's stuff like observation; looking ahead in ruts, forward planning to pick out a route through knarley stuff. Moving your weight around for grip, obstacles etc.
Oh, and it's great fun to boot
