Here, the common phrase used is "looking up". If something is "looking up," it means that a situation is improving or that there is hope. Often said as "things are looking up." "Look up" does have another meaning! You can use it to say that you searched for information in a book or database. Ex: I'll look that up online later. Ex: I looked it up in the library, but I couldn't find it. Ex: Things seem to be looking up for my health. Ex: You see, things are looking up now.
