Showing up, even when you don’t feel like it, involves many things.
One of them is your feelings.
You had a bad day, but you show up as if nothing happened.
“As if” is the result of effective emotional regulation.
Because of that, your bad day remains personal. You choose not to let it affect those around you. When you genuinely show up for your customers and peers, you have a chance to have a better day.
