Is it ok?

Hi everyone, this is my first posting here. I would like to know is it grammatically correct to say something like this 'Do my best, do my very best'?

Since we can say ' Do your best ' so by analogy we can also say ' Do my best ' ' do my very best ' - the ' very ' serves as an adverb to modify ' best ', so there is no harm being added
