Yeah, I've gotten better at giving my best last years but I could still improve in that sense so I am working on it. In acting I cannot really not give my everything or not commit to the role or I will definitely fail, so that is a perfect way to train. It also makes me feel very vulnerable, but that is good too.

And I am trying to get rid of the inner critic in that same way :) Yesterday I went to a ska/reggae concert with my friends and no one was dancing. There was not even really a dance floor. And my friend said that she felt a bit sorry for the band that had to play for a sitting audience and jokingly said we should go do it. My response normally would have been no, no one else is dancing - but instead I said yes and got some of my friends to join me at the dance floor. I was mostly just jumping around like a idiot, I don't really know how one is supposed to dance to ska music, but it was so much fun!!! Every time my inner critic told me I looked stupid I continued dancing even more energetically and it worked :) after a few songs we got some more people dancing with us and I am quite sure no one else would have come up and started dancing if we wouldn't have gone first. The band seemed to appreciate it as well :)
