Neil Gaiman has offered a bevy of ‘Cool Stuff’ for both adults and children for free on his website.
A more sedentary lifestyle or the limits we face in terms of how we can exercise during this time may be a trigger for those with eating disorder or body image histories, many of whom enjoy keeping a busy lifestyle and may feel anxious about a change to routine.
Also, for anyone else! The media has a favourite subject at the moment but as we settle in to our new Netflix and self-isolate lifestyles we shall no doubt encounter all the usual stuff we’ve all grown used to trying to ignore in the interest of maintaining a healthy relationship with our physical selves.
So I am going to take this opportunity to promote to any and all the beautiful What’s Underneath project. This is just one video, there are many you’ll find on the YouTube channel focussing on all people of all different identities and experiences…I encourage you to explore.
These videos are nourishing in the truest sense of the word. They are grounding and raw and truthful and to me they ooze connection and I can not recommend them enough.
Some videos should perhaps come with a trigger warning for others mental health issues/traumas.

A half hour lesson from Susan Neal
A half hour yoga stretch with Laurie KCR Blair
Hi everyone! I’m based in Normal, IL, USA, and just went through a yoga breathing training (from this guy: https://youtu.be/_QTJOAI0UoU ) I plan to hop on FB live here every couple of days to lead us through various breathing techniques plus a meditation/visualization at the end: my small contribution to reducing stress levels and boosting our immune system. If I figure it out, I think we can make it an event in advance?
Very glad for the internet: physical distancing doesn’t mean socially isolated. ❤️
