Keep Showing Up!

Written By Amy Alpert

I have been thinking a lot about the people who keep showing up, even when things are tough. Below is my admiration for many of the ways we keep going.

  • Job seekers who keep sending out resumes, looking for jobs, researching companies, engaging in LinkedIn, reaching out to their network despite the tough job market.

  • Political friends and role models who keep writing to their local paper, making calls to elected officials, writing postcards to voters, going to rallies, posting content on social media and demonstrating other forms of leadership to meet the moment.

  • Parents who keep showing up for the kids who struggle or don’t engage even when it is frustrating and heartbreaking.

  • Showing up even when you have chronic pain or chronic symptoms. Calling insurance companies when they don’t pay. Showing up to work when you don’t feel 100% and going to your doctors and taking your medicine and doing what you need to feel better.

  • Caring for an elderly relative even when it is hard and sad. Showing up even when the person does not remember who you are.

  • Sticking with someone going through a mental health challenge. Whether it is addiction, depression, anxiety or an eating disorder, it is so tough to stick with people who are suffering with mental health issues and it is not always possible to show up in the way we want. But for those of you who are navigating your, way, I see you.

  • Navigating a new school, freshman year of college, a new job or seeking a new relationship. Keep showing up. You will find your people.

How can you keep showing up? Here are some blogs I have written in the past which you may find helpful in your journey:
