National Get Up Day 2024: Everybody trips and falls. What counts is how we get out of bed. That is the idea behind February 1st’s National Get Up Day. U.S. Figure Skating developed this motivational campaign in 2016. The USFSA states that “Get Up is about being fearless in the face of falling.” Like figure skaters, we all have our moments of falling. Rebounding is the hard part. National Get-Up Day celebrates this resolve. Prepare to recognize those who have been there, celebrate your own Get Up moments, and encourage others to follow in your footsteps.

National Get Up Day History

The US Figure Skating Association created a campaign with the theme “We all fall” in 2016, which is when this day first came to be. What counts is how we get out of bed. The following year, National Get Up Day spread to the broader public and ingrained itself into the figure skating community. In 2018, National Get Up Day was becoming more and more popular, and it was even observed right before the South Korean Winter Games.

One possible source of inspiration for the Get Up campaign’s theme was the well-known American figure skater and 1984 Olympic Gold medallist Scott Hamilton. Hamilton once said in an interview that he had counted the number of times he had fallen while skating, and the result was about 41,600. The most amazing part, though, is that this number also indicates that Hamilton stood up 41,600 times. In addition, he has survived cancer four times, which must be far harder to recover from than just a simple ice skating fall.

Since National Get Up Day is observed amid the bleak and chilly months of winter, it can serve as a helpful reminder to people who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or the winter blues that it’s important to simply get back up whenever things are going down!

Methods For Celebrating National Get Up Day

Use social media to spread the word and share your personal story.

It may be any instance in which you felt like a failure, yet you persisted instead of giving up. Make sure to include the hashtag #GetUpDay in any social media posts you make about your experiences.

Motivate others to Get Up

Make sure you encourage those in your life to keep going, whether that’s through social media posts, planning an event, or reaching out to pals who might use a little pick-me-up.

Take a skate on the ice!

It’s the ideal method to commemorate. Just keep in mind that it’s okay to fall; just get back up and try again!
