Reminding yourself to relax will help but is there anything you think you can to do prevent the tendency to want to tighten up and be stiff on the bars? Why are you getting tense in the first place?

Yes. Exactly. Being tense on the bars can cause a lot of riding issues- being relaxed and letting the bike do it's thing is the ideal situation.
