Stringent: (of regulations, requirements, or conditions) strict, precise, and exacting

 

Garrulous: excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters
Quivery: shaking or trembling slightly
Steady: firmly fixed, supported, or balanced; not shaking or moving

Abstain: restrain oneself from doing or enjoying something
Defer: put off (an action or event) to a later time; postpone
