Those of us who are relatively new to the staying-inside gig may well have some questions for the members of the community who have been doing it longer. Let's call this post a safe space to ask questions of each other.

I didn't get a lot of touch from humans even before staying inside, and there have definitely been periods when I have been not very connected (except to cats).

Comfy yoga of the stretch-and-mindfulness type really help me. I find the relaxing back poses where there's a lot of back support from the mat helps (along with focusing on the feeling of the mat or ground).

Warm and comfy things: showers, sunlight, blankets. Showers are particularly great because of the warmth and the feeling of the water. :)

Viewing nature and animals helps me regain a sense of connectedness. Touching trees and hanging out in parks can help too.

Really comfy fiction about people with more of a social life. But this one is a mixed bag, because sometimes it works but sometimes it makes me feel worse (and sometimes it does first one and then the other...).

Yep, for me it's showers, and same problem. :(
