I find myself in this situation sometimes and what works for me is to close my eyes, deep breath and exhaling to a count of ten, pause for another second and then open your eyes. It's a simple exercise and it has a great calming effect. I don't recommend doing it for every shot, only on those when you begin to feel like you're rushing.

For putting, take a page out of Zen Golf. Stop and take a moment to survey your surroundings and don't simply focus on the cup, this will put the shot in perpsective and give you a couple seconds to clear your mind.
