"I sort of signed up for this class on a whim. I've been looking into Buddhism for a few years, and I thought I had that part of my life mostly nailed down. Turns out I was wrong. I had tried to be mindful about everything all the time and I was so hard on myself that I ended up not really being mindful about anything. Mary's class changed that.
I'm a big fan of using small steps to make big change, and that's just what we did in this class. Everyday Mary sent out a small thing to do. I have a jam packed schedule and I could still fit in the fifteen or so minutes. Each of these lessons gave me something I could acomplish which made me feel like I wasn't wasting time, which is usually how I feel when I make myself do something like this.
I thought the best part was that every day we focused on different ways to be mindful. I always thought that to be mindful I needed to be hyper aware all the time, but Mary's class showed me different. One day I was focusing on feeling an orange and a few days later I was coloring. And I never felt like I needed to combine all these lessons so I could become a mindfulness Superhero.
I highly recommend taking this course. I'm probably going to redo it again and again."

"12 Days Of Mindfulness was a wonderful, very grounding set of exercises. For me, staying present in the moment can be a real challenge. My work is entirely interrupt-driven, and by the time I get home some days, my concentration is shattered. Mary's exercises helped me calm down, gain focus, and were very fun to do. I don't want to spoil anything, because the surprise factor was part of the joy, but the exercises were creative and original. Some of them even made me feel like by doing them I was helping make the world a little better - a truly unexpected bonus."

"Thank you for your excellent work with your Mindfulness e-course. What I liked a lot was it was free of any religious concepts, which makes it perfect for anyone with different belief systems. You are such a colorful sign post pointing way away from hopelessness to a bright future!"

"I absolutely loved 12 Days Of Mindfulness. It really helped me with my stress-levels; this school year has been quite stressful. So getting a little something each day to remind me to be positive, slow down, and take a little time to think is fantastic. I definitely recommend it!"

Hi! My name is Mary Uncustomary England.
I’m a published author, life coach, event speaker, podcaster, and team building facilitator. I have two degrees in Psychology. Previously, I worked at a psychiatric rehabilitation center for five years, creating curriculums for courses for 100 adults with mental illness. I’ve run my own business since 2013, where I created my own job title: Merriment Maker.
I actively study psychology, positivity, and fun. I’ve coached people 1:1 for over almost a decade with glowing reviews. I don’t base my work on hunches or tote bag inspiration. It’s influenced by research, science, and action. Let’s just say I have my 10,000 hours.
I have one dozen mental illnesses of my own. I come here from a sincere desire of wanting to be happy, not naturally being happy. I know this is work. And I’m doing it with you. I know if I can have an eating disorder, self-harm every day for years, try to kill myself, abuse drugs, and experience sexual assault and still create a fun life, I can help you have a fun life, too.
I believe in play over meditation. I’m blunt. My methods are founded in psychology and science, and I’m also (realistically) optimistic. I’m a good teacher. I’ve taught adults how to read and how to love themselves. Perhaps most importantly, I am here to get you to take action, not just to theoretically understand something.
My Merriment Making Method will always provide you with actionable steps and ideas to get you out of your head and into the world.
Tangibility will always win over theory.
