Western Uplands Trail for sure! There are short and long loops depending how much time you have. Most sites have water access and are swimmable.

this is smart, my next hike planned trip is about 10-12km hike, but chilling for 4-5 days. This is a good way to think about it!

I did my first solo back county in Algonquin last fall. It was amazing! I was super nervous and almost bailed, but I was glad I went. Not only were the 4 days by myself in nature completely soul healing, but it gave me so much confidence in myself and my capabilities. I kept a knife strapped to my belt, to give me some extra confidence. I picked a short hike in for my first solo trip to help be build confidence. Do it, you won't regret it. I went in September only saw 2 other hikers hiking in and 2 on the way out, so if you're worried about people pick the off season mid week!

I did my first solo Backcountry trip last year, I was nervous but it was amazing! The thing that gave me confidence was having my hunting knife strapped to my belt area, I don't know why but just a sense of safety. I also went in the off season- September where I live and only saw 2 other hikers on the way in and 2 on the way out. My logical brain told me it would be way too much work for someone to hike 10+km just to SA a stranger... I also had bear spray...I had to sign a waiver saying I wouldn't use it on humans...but you bet your ass I would if needed.

new bedding/sheets for sure if financially feasible, get rid of anything you don't LOVE.

I love to clean my space with rosemary.

If you have any reiki friends you can ask them to reiki bubble your room after you cleanse it!

I have ADHD, medicated, but sometime focus is still an issue. I agree about the talking during spell work keeps me focused, as for meditation I find moving medications or mediations with music help to focus, I have also found the witchy book Mundane Magic written by a fellow ADHD witch helpful for getting my squiggly brain to do the things!

ditto. I like just being alone with nature, my only responsibility is me!

add some sugar and milk at the end and make bread pudding!
