I like a bit of pressure, even when it comes from myself, to help me do my best work! I always find it helpful to analyze when I get nervous or feel the need to perform. It helps me keep things in perspective and really evaluate what my goals are. I like the right amount of nervous anticipation, when my desire to do a good job makes me hyper-focused on the task at hand. We've all had experiences where our nerves got the better of us, but if we treat those awful, anxiety-ridden moments as learning experiences, they can be a useful tool for growth!
