keep it moving
Maintain the momentum
Keep it moving is an exhortation to continue forward without dwelling on setbacks, awkward moments, or distractions.
It dismisses what just happened as unworthy of attention: You tripped in front of everyone? Keep it moving.
The phrase originated in crowd control—police or security directing people not to stop and gawk—but now applies to emotional resilience and social composure.
