When the wind is blowing you around you need to stay loose on the controls. "Holding on for dear life" is only making things worse.
You control the bike by counter-steering with your arms. If the wind is blowing you around, your arms are moving around. The stiffer you are, the more of that movement gets transmitted into the bike.
Stay loose.
When you shift, preload the lever with your foot and shift firmly. If you don't press the shift lever all the way up/down, the gear selector cam doesn't rotate enough to lock into the next position, which can allow the transmission to drop down a gear.
