The real trick is just to concentrate on the target and forget about the hazards. Easier said than done I know, so if the water is really in your head, there's normally a way to play safely from it. So do that. If you feel like the club in your hands is going to put it in the water, pick a different one. Once you stand on a tee with a driver and think "this is going in the water" or "don't hit it in the water", you're done. It's difficult to change that mindset, but if you go pull out a 3-wood or hybrid or whatever, you have the chance to start again.

As to the hill, you're probably trying to help it up there. Hitting up on the ball is rarely successful. You'd be better off just relying on the club to do its bit and hit down on it. If you hit it well, the worst case scenario is it doesn't carry as far as you wanted it to, but you won't be in any real trouble.
