Something that I just learned that has freed me

Hey yall,
I just learned something that I think has unlocked something in my brain in changing my perspective to how I approach practicing my target language. Tell me what you think.
I was watching a video of a man teaching Arabic(one of my target languages, I have 2) and he said, "focus on being understood instead of being correct."
After hearing that, I think now I feel more freedom in speaking. I used to be scared before because I was so focused on being correct but now, my goal is just to be understood and not be perfect.
Thoughts??? Has anyone tried this before and how did it turn out at the end.

What other mindsets or belief that you acquired through your journey "freed" you?
