Relaxation is key. Learn the fundamentals. Practice them over and over again. The upa is the simplest escape but the elbow escape is great also. I only use 4 escapes from the mount, everything else is just a variation or an escape into a leglock. Just keep moving. Don't go, okay I'm going to upa, oh that didn't work. Now lets go back to square 1. You upa, bam, that don't work, elbow escape, oh he blocked it, back to upa and you're out. Think about it like this, everytime you start your escape over again you're just giving your opponent time to settle his weight back on you and get his balance together again. Have an aggressive defense.
