Dance badly in your room with the door shut. That version of you isn’t worried about anything.

Self-consciousness is mostly the cost of being watched, and when the watching stops, most of the weight goes with it. Behind a closed door your body quits arranging itself for anybody, and there is nothing to get wrong because badly is the entire point. That state is not a break from who you are. It sits closer to the baseline you carry underneath all the monitoring.

Put something loud on this week with the door shut and move however you want for one song. Three minutes is enough to feel the difference in your shoulders. Nobody has to know it happened.
