Default Advice for Instrument Training

I believe it's been posted before but here goes. I started instrument training last week, I currently have about 5hrs. In the Redbird and 5 hrs. in a C-172P(I started training with about 115 TT). I knocked out my ground school and written prior to starting needless to say I feel like a complete moron. I feel like I understand the conceptual side of instrument flying but as soon as I put the foggles on my brain goes into vapor lock. I have shot a couple of ILS approaches, a few RNAV approaches, and a few VOR approaches. Needless to say the VOR's have by far been the worst , especially the holds. I find the hardest part has been visualizing my position in space in relation to a VOR, especially when executing a hold. For what it's worth I'm flying a Garmin 430W with an HSI. Just wondering if any experienced aviators on here had some advice. Thanks again fly safe.
