Not technically correct, but I know what you mean.
Well, you'll just have to get over it if you want consistently good landings.
Concentrate on getting that short approach speed right and everything else
will start to work a whole lot better.
As for the flare, don't think about it. Rather, as the plane settles,
concentrate on keeping the wheels off the runway. Prevent the airplane from
touching down as long as you can by pulling the yoke back. Don't let the
stall horn scare you--it's supposed to blow if you're doing this right--just
keep easing the nose up until the mains touch. Keep the yoke back as you
roll out. There, you did it!
