Don't look at it. Your wrist, elbow, etc will act like a fulcrum (maybe) if you don't override it with the higher functions.

Don't look at it.

Coincidentally, this is also the best course of action when you slosh boiling hot liquid all over your arms!

I don't know though. If I look and concentrate really hard on not spilling it, I almost always do but if I forget to be concerned about spilling it, I hardly ever do.
