A definition of 'shame' that was very enlightening for me is 'that which stops you from doing what you want to do' (maybe 'desire' would be better than 'want' here). Really helped me pattern match for unnecessary inhibitors in my life and become more relaxed. Shame is a huge source of anxiety for people and really overused by society. I think a lot of recent movements are a reaction to this but for those of us who'd like to be fairly nondescript it can be a bit too much to respond with such flamboyance, just being careful about what you allow to induce guilt in you can be a huge step.
