100 Ways To Be Creative: Leave A Note In The Copy Machine

by Uncustomary | Apr 14, 2012 | Creativity | 0 comments

#29 on my 100 Ways To Be Creative list was to “leave a happy note or quote in the copy machine at work“.
Yesterday was Friday the 13th so I thought it would be a good day to leave a little happy somewhere.

Leave A Note In The Copy Machine At Work | Uncustomary

The quote reads: “Clouds are very free. The just float around the sky and have fun all day.”

If your anxiety has been acting like a feral racco If your anxiety has been acting like a feral raccoon on a sugar bender lately…hi, beloved. Come sit by me. 💛🫧

I made something for the brains that spiral, stall, freeze, fizz, flatline, or catastrophize before breakfast.

It’s basically a soft, glitter-covered toolbox for anyone whose nervous system is tired of being in fight-or-flight 24/7.

Inside, you’ll find:

💜 tiny, doable tools for when your brain is doing parkour
💜 somatic + sensory magic for when you feel too much
💜 mindset reframes for when you feel nothing
💜 grounding rituals, nervous system resets, creative relief portals
💜 50+ EFT/Tapping sessions, including:

 🔹Accepting Mental Illness
 🔹Feeling Flatlined
 🔹Feeling Numb
 🔹Releasing Perfectionism
 🔹Anger
 🔹Stop Tolerating Things You Hate
 🔹Boundary Guilt Release
 🔹Taking Up Space
 🔹Unconditional Self-Love
 …and so many more emotional Pokémon

And because winter can be a whole emotional boss level, there’s now a full Winter Blues Section:

❄️ Overcoming Winter Blues Workshop
❄️ Winter Workbook
❄️ Winter Visualization
❄️ EFT for Winter Blues
❄️ 15 Winter Self-Care Ideas
❄️ Holiday Self-Care Checklist
❄️ SAD support
❄️ Breaking the January Slump
❄️ Winter Bucket List
 …and cozy tools for when everything feels dimmer than usual.

This isn’t a “fix yourself” course.
It’s a weird little sanctuary, a set of tools for real humans with real brains doing their very best.

If your body whispered “this feels like help,” your doorway is waiting.

If not, take what you need.
You’re already doing great.
Whimsy is wisdom.
Joy is rebellion.
Weirdness is medicine. 🌈🦄💛
Hi, I’m Mary, your friendly neighborhood Merriment Hi, I’m Mary, your friendly neighborhood Merriment Maker, Joy Trickster, and unlicensed emotional support peacock. 🦚
If you’re new… buckle up. If you’re not… you already knew that.

I’m not the beige wellness lady whispering affirmations beside a waterfall.❌🧘‍♀️

I’m the gremlin in a rainbow coat handing out joy missions in the IKEA parking lot. 🦕🪀

Both approaches reduce anxiety… but only one involves bubbles and mild public confusion. 🫧🤸‍♀️

I grew up weird, bright, anxious, synesthetic, neurodivergent, traumatized, tender, and “too much”, and instead of shrinking, I built rooms where people like us don’t have to. 🧨

My work is for anyone who’s been told:
“You’re too colorful/sensitive/strange/loud/messy/creative.”
No. 🚫 Wrong channel.

If beige spirituality gives you hives 🤦‍♀️ or you feel like a feral raccoon at a yoga retreat… come sit by me. I have crayons in my purse. 🖍️

Here’s what I actually do:

🌈 reroute nervous systems through joy + sensory play
🌈 teach self-love that doesn’t feel like homework
🌈 make emotional regulation weirdly fun
🌈 turn mundane days into scavenger hunts for wonder
🌈 coach people into versions of themselves their inner child would high-five
🌈 document good news like a journalist of delight
🌈 build community for neurodivergent weirdos + creative misfits

I also leave guerrilla art across Baltimore, talk to hawks like coworkers, hoard flower crowns, and can analyze your personality based solely on your eyebrows. (Yes, really.)

If you’re here for:

🩷 emotional softness
🧡 existential play
💛 joy as rebellion
💚 absurdity as medicine
💙 nervous-system-friendly growth
💜 or permission to be “too much” in a world that’s chronically too little…

Then welcome home.
You found the underground playground.
Let’s feel good enough to do good. 🌈💛🦄

🕊️ That quiet middle place where nothing is too sharp or too loud, and your nervous system remembers what it’s like to settle?

We usually only hear it used in the context of Bipolar Disorder; ⚖️ a stretch of time when someone is neither manic nor depressed.

But what a beautiful word. 💜 Goal. State. A grounded home base, governed by a steady emotional climate.

🙋🏻‍♀️ If you’re craving more moments like that, you might like knowing that inside the Feel Good Vault there’s an entire self-care and mental-health section. 😊
