Realize your physical body will die.
Your
earthly image, status and reputation,
possessions and property,
your physical body
etc.
will all disappear and become like a distant dream. Once you accept this fully, all the energy that was tied up in trying to defend and assert your self-importance over these things, or gain approval and avoid disapproval, is freed up, adding to your creative power.
With nothing to lose, you live authentically.
