National Get Up Day

National Get Up Day, celebrated annually on February 1, embodies the essence of resilience: “We all fall. It’s how we get up that matters.” This empowering message was launched by U.S. Figure Skating in 2016 to encourage fearlessness in the face of setbacks. Just like skaters who tumble on the ice, everyone stumbles in life. The true challenge lies in rising again. This day is a salute to persistence, urging you to celebrate your own moments of triumph, recognize others who’ve persevered, and motivate those around you to keep pushing forward.
