You are fine, Dont wait for aces, but pick good spots .

Dont push crap from UTG-MP2

Just stay calm and wait for good spots to steal or make a stand with a soild hand.

you're definitely fine

relax and hope to pick up a hand/ pick up some blinds in the meantime.

You're not even < 10BB yet. Even if you were, you don't need to push marginal hands until you get really desperate. You're not there yet. You have plenty of time to find a spot where you're ahead.
