Kickstart Your Year with Kindness: A Fun Guide to January 2025!

Join us in January 2025 as we embrace kindness! Explore wildlife, wellness events, and make the most of this vibrant month!

As the calendar flips to January 2025, it's time to kickstart the new year with positivity and kindness! Our Happiness Calendar is here to serve as your day-by-day guide to well-being, helping you infuse each day with joy and compassion. January is the perfect month to reset intentions and spread kindness wherever you go—so let’s dive into some enjoyable activities to make the most of your first month!

On weekends, for all the nature lovers out there, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is offering guided wildlife tours at the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area. Whether you're a bird watcher, a deer enthusiast, or just someone who loves fresh air and stunning scenery, these tours provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature and meet fellow wildlife aficionados. Plus, it’s a great way to unwind and appreciate the beautiful outdoors, giving you that extra boost of happiness!

Mark your calendars for January 11, when the Ballona Creek Cleanup event takes place! Gather your friends and family to participate in a community-driven effort to keep our waterways clean and contribute to local wildlife habitats. Not only will you be making a difference for the environment, but it is also a fantastic way to engage with your community, meet new friends, and feel accomplished once the job is done. Trust us, nothing feels better than a little teamwork for a great cause!

And as we focus on kindness this month, remember that even the simplest gestures can make a big difference! Whether it’s smiling at a stranger or lending a helping hand, we can all find small ways to contribute to the happiness of others. So get out there, participate in these activities, and let’s make January the most delightful month yet!

Now, here's an interesting fact: Did you know that acts of kindness can actually boost your happiness levels? Studies have shown that just thinking of kind deeds can raise endorphin levels in your brain! And for those of you interested in wildlife, the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area is home to over 200 species of birds, making it a birdwatcher's paradise during migration season. Join in the fun for a month filled with kindness, community, and the beauty of nature!
