It's not only "Slow Down" that helps.
Very hard to do is "Empty your head", allow no thoughts in you mind.
Let the game take you call by call (or if you prefer pitch by pitch) to the end of the game.
If you messed one call up, think about a happy moment in you life, let that happy feeling into your body and mind and start over again. If you blew one, screw them; how many errors do the players make?
Later on today I'll have a low-level game in the 2nd div in the Neth.s, This will be more difficult than the TOP-level games in the highest division. Here more mistakes are being made and more surprises occur. So it will be hard work!
Remember that on low(er)-level it's more difficult to perform well as an umpire than on the highest levels. Pressure will rise, but following the mechanics make things easier.
Never forget to enjoy what you're doing on the field
