I agree connotatively, but disagree denotatively. The version for LessWrongians might go a little more like this:
When you feel overconstrained, question your constraints, make peace with the consequences of breaking them, and attend your options, not your panic.
In particular, in situations where your panic at fearful outcomes is worse than one of those outcomes, just accept that outcome instead of accepting the panic.
