If the holidays are difficult for you, remember this truth: you’ve gotten through challenging seasons before. Your strength is already proven. You are capable, resilient, and deserving of support this season.
When emotions feel heavy, place one hand on your chest and breathe slowly. This simple self-soothing gesture activates calm and reminds your body that you are safe.
You can also listen to music, journal, text a friend, stretch, or simply go for a walk. Having options ready makes resilience easier to access. Resilience starts with caring for yourself in small, compassionate ways.

Holiday gatherings can be fun but also draining. Build yourself a post-event ritual: a warm bath, soft lighting, a few minutes of quiet, or a comforting show. Give yourself a buffer to decompress and recharge.
Your holiday schedule doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. If large gatherings are overwhelming or multiple events drain you, simplify. During a season filled with hustle, allow yourself the pause. Slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind, it means you’re nurturing yourself so you can show up more fully when it matters.

Did someone say “mandatory fun“?? Cue the dramatic pause, the nervous laughter, and the internal debate over how early is too early to leave… One might think that this would be the case for an all-staff event, however, here at RACS, spending the holidays with our work family is not only painless, it’s actually something we look forward to! Just look at all of those smiles and the laughter! We even know how to make the cleanup part of the event fun!

A big thank you to the staff who made the festivities happen and kept everything running smoothly (and merrily). Your hard work and holiday spirit truly made the event shine. We’d also like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at the Magnolia center for all of their incredible work coordinating the Magnolia Players’ Christmas play this year. It was absolutely wonderful, and we’re already counting down to next year.

Resilience isn’t about staying strong all the time, it’s about bouncing back gently. It’s the ability to take a breath, regroup, and move forward at your own pace. Give yourself credit for every small act, awareness, or boundary-setting this season. It all counts.

Gift idea for the holidays: remember that your presence is more meaningful than any present. Time, attention, kindness, and listening are gifts that stay with people far longer than anything wrapped in a box. What you offer from the heart has a lasting impact.
