Calm Catcher

I love mixing playfulness, nostalgia and mental wellness. A few weeks ago, I decided to make a “calm catcher!” It’s like the old school ‘cootie catchers’ or fortune tellers most of us used when we were kids. They’re a traditional origami salt cellar shape flipped upside down with writing and numbers added. With the calm catcher, write in small things inside that you can do when you need a quick recharge.

You can also print one I made with suggestions inside! All eight suggestions use music as a springboard for chill, and are meant to be personalized to YOUR music preferences.

Here’s a youtube video on how to make and use one of the original kind.
