Why You Should Care
Summary
- I deeply care about my work and take it seriously, which is why I need to practice a lot. It's important to take your responsibilities seriously if you want to succeed.
- Caring deeply about your job or company means you'll put more pressure on yourself, so practicing becomes essential to manage that pressure.
- Practicing creates a reinforcing loop: the more I care, the more I practice, and the more I practice, the better I feel about my work.
- Without enough practice, nerves can become overwhelming, causing poor performance. Practice helps alleviate this.
- It's crucial to give your best effort in all situations by consistently preparing and practicing.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing regular practice sessions to improve any skill or task you deeply care about. Carve out a little time each day to practice. It doesn’t have to be long—just something consistent. This consistent practice will help manage nerves and improve your confidence over time.
A good way of doing this is by making a simple schedule. Focus on the areas in your work or personal goals that make you nervous. Spend a few minutes each day practicing these skills. For example, if public speaking makes you nervous, practice speaking in front of a mirror, or record yourself to review later.
Also, think of practice as a way to relieve the pressure you put on yourself. When you care deeply about your work or goals, it's natural to feel pressure. Practice creates a cycle where the more you practice, the better you feel, reducing stress and improving your performance.
Remember to treat practice like a game. Challenge yourself to get a little better each day and celebrate small wins. By consistently preparing and honing your skills, you'll feel more confident and perform better in all situations.
Lastly, don’t be too hard on yourself. Know that improvement comes over time, and the effort you’re putting in is what truly matters.
