If said in a cheerful, praising tone, it means "You're doing great, continue the good work!"
If said in a warning tone, it is a threat that means "Stop it right now, or reap the consequences!"

Praise: Wow, you've lost 35 pounds on that diet! Keep it up!

An expression of encouragement that means as long as you are alive, things can get better. The trick is to keep breathing.
"Sometimes it feels like there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel and I can't go on."
"Keep breathing." :)
"Keep breathing." :)
