When you hold back from playing because you’re afraid of doing something wrong, do it wrong on purpose.

If you try to do something wrong and it comes out wrong, you’ve succeeded. If you try to do it wrong and it comes out right, you’ve succeeded in a different way. You succeed either way. As a side bonus, doing things wrong often leads to laughter which helps release fear. It’s liberating to do things badly and to discover that you don’t wind up dead as a result.
