show up

[KLPNO]

Hello everyone,

From the book Choose Your Story, Change Your Life by Kindra Hall.

If you’ve struggled to achieve a health goal even when you have everything it takes and know what to do, a complete lack of trust in yourself is likely what’s missing. Saying you’ll show up and then not doing it over and over and over takes its toll on any relationship, including the one you have with you. Start by showing up every morning to tell yourself the stories—that will inspire the behavior that creates the results you want and deserve.

What is the meaning of "show up" in the above paragraph?
Does it mean give your best efforts to do/doing something?

Not necessarily. It means at least start every morning by being present with your intentions. Making promises to yourself (about what you'll do tomorrow) and then not keeping them day after day is detrimental.

Is the meaning of "show up" the same in the context below (paragraphs are from the same book):

In the final few weeks of 2020, I introduced a group of twenty-eight individuals to the power of self-storytelling. Each of them noted an area of their life where they felt old stories might be holding them back. Through a series of group sessions and four thirty-minute one-on-one sessions, I walked them through the process I am about to teach you.

Meet Cori.
The moment my video call with Cori connects, the screen reveals a face that you can’t help but smile back at. Cori seems perpetually cheerful and quick to laugh. She works as a corporate trainer, spending a lot of time in front of groups, and it’s easy to see how she shines in her role.

Back to Cori. An A+ member of my research group, Cori showed up all the way every time—although she admitted to being a little skeptical at first. “Honestly”—she hesitated a second—“I will say, I started out, and I was like, I don’t know how helpful this is going to be.”

In that context, I would take it to mean that not only was she present (she showed up) but, as stated in the previous paragraph, not only did she turn up but she was cheerful and good in her role.
