The holidays, exams, and the end of the semester are right around the corner—and it can feel overwhelming.

Remember to take a break! What better way to recharge than by joining one of our Stress Less Studio sessions?

Come to one or come to all.
Drop in for 10 minutes or stay for the full hour.

These sessions are the perfect opportunity to step away from the books, relax, and pick up a few stress-busting tips along the way.

Give yourself permission to pause—you deserve it!

Gratitude has the power to strengthen relationships, boost well-being, and remind us of the good that’s already around us.

This month’s RAKtivist activity invites you to write a heartfelt letter to someone who’s made a difference in your life, and to reflect on the strengths you bring to the world.

A few simple sentences can create connection, healing, and joy on both sides. 💛 Download the activity and take a few minutes to share your gratitude today: https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/become-a-raktivist
