"You can just do things" means, "Don't worry so much about whether you'll mess up if you actually do the stuff you're ideating about." But learning to stop worrying is itself a difficult task. Don't feel guilty for not already knowing how to let go of your inhibitions.

The "just" in "you can just do things" describes how easy it feels after you've learned to stop inhibiting yourself. Don't misunderstand: The act of ceasing to inhibit yourself is itself a difficult task. You're not a failure for not already knowing how to be yourself.

We should start using "darkoom" as a verb, for the act of doing something just because you're not used to doing anything else and that's uncomfortable. "Deperssion darkoom" in particular is also a snappy term for one major reason miserable people stay that way.
