The Best Day Hike Snacks - The Eager Traveler

This is a sponsored post on best day hike snacks written by me on behalf of ADM. All opinions are 100% mine.

I never used to cook before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world in 2020, but during much of the lockdown, like everyone else, I was forced to stay home. And as gyms and restaurants shut down (with very few restaurants offering healthy take-out options), I had to find a way to stay fit, so I decided to hike more often. This led me to my quest to find the best day hike snacks.

Libraries and Adult Lonliness

As we all know, making friends as adults is hard. And while the internet has made it easier to make friends with people around the world, actually meeting people you can meet with on a regular basis and just hang out with us tough. The common answer to meeting new people is to find people who are interested in the same stuff as you. As such, finding places to meet new people who may have similar interests to you is important. And that’s why I think the library is a great resource!

As a children’s librarian, one of the things I try to point out to parents when they come in to sign their kids up for the library is that we offer adult programs too. Obviously we have book clubs - my library has 4 different book clubs for people who read different types of books. I’ve posted about it before with knitting/crochet circles. But for people who have or want to explore different interests, and meet new people via that new interest, you may want to check your local library to see their programming. For example:

Hiking: Many libraries offer things like hiking kits. These can be things such as maps for local trails, hiking sticks, a water resistant backpack, binoculars, bird guides, and the like. But some libraries having hiking clubs, such as the Poughkeepsie Public Library Distruct in NY.

Language Learning: Many libraries have access to language learning platforms such as Rosetta Stone or Mango Languages. But many other have dedicated classes where adults can come and learn languages. If you’re in L.A. county, the public library offers classes in beginner Russian, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Armenian, etc!

Music: there are many libraries that have maker spaces where you can go and record music. There’s one in the Newark Library and at a branch of the Brooklyn library. There are also ones that allow you to check out instruments. But there are also ones where you can receive free music lessons, such as the Dallas Public Library (this program was online during the pandemic but is now also offered in person!)

I could keep going.

Singing, dancing, theater, yoga, sketch comedy, creative writing, RC Cars, foraging, cemetery tour groups, jewelry making, baking, woodworking, painting, etc. If you have a niche interest or would like to get into a niche interest, there is a chance your library has had or will have a program about it. And if you’re looking to meet new people, it is a great place to start.

I feel like a lot of introdutory books on witchcraft skip those steps to make spells and also the exercises that you should train to help you get in certain head spaces, like meditation, visualization, breathing techniques. I ended up looking at some chaos magic introdutory guides to learn some of those exercises, because the witchcraft ones don't really focus on providing a guide for the beginner.

or if they don't skip they just mention very briefly like oh you should consecrate or charge this, but never really explaining what it is

Its interesting because I got a book that was described as intermediate wicca and in that book they actually explain a lot more in depth all those concepts like dedicating, charging, blessing etc which is weird that is only on the intermediate one because to me it feels like the in depth explanations should be already on the introdutory ones. So even if i'm not necessarily going to the wicca path, the book ended up helping me a lot.

We are definitely in the midst of a Witchcraft craze and many, many "beginner" books on witchcraft are written for the spiritual seeker crowd who are looking for a self-supervised system of nature-based faith and empowerment.

There has been a shift in witchcraft publishing which moves away from whatever the hell was going in in the 70s, beginner witchcraft books telling you how to summon demons and shit. "Welcome to baby's first book on witchcraft! Here's how to summon Vassago, don't fuck it up!"

Many witchcraft publishers now seem to regard actual magic as a bit déclassé, which is why in my opinion the loveliest of witchcraft books now come from indie and self publishers.

And I think all of this is fine.

Witchcraft hasn't gotten smaller. It's gotten bigger. The boundaries have been expanded beyond the mist-shrouded peaks and the blood-soaked thickets, hiding spirits with heads that don't match their bodies.

It's been expanding beyond the rolling hills and the herbs hidden near muddy creeks, guarded by badgers and snakes who might just tell you what to do with the monsters in the mountain above.

It's arrived at the grand sun-drenched meadow, just off the highway; it's arrived at a place with picnic benches and carefully marked trails, where seeing a mule deer far off in the distance will fill people with delight.

The hills have never been tamed. They can't be. It's not how it works.

The boundary just gets bigger. Maybe someday it'll cross the highway. Someday it will retreat again, hidden from the main road.

I think we should enjoy the gentle lands of our domain while they're here.

Don't you think it's so amazing? Don't you think it's a relief and wonderful and warm that so many people now look at witchcraft and think it's lovely and enjoyable and meant for everyone?

I expect in my lifetime, the boundary will retreat far up into the mists. And the benefits we enjoy now by being associated with such pretty meadows will be erased.

But meanwhile, we should also perhaps not have too high expectations for any mass-produced popular witchcraft 101 books. They are typically not meant for people trying to hike in the foothills.

Self-care habits 

Self-care is essential for high school students to maintain their mental and emotional well-being amidst academic pressures, social challenges, and personal growth. Here are several self-care habits, practices, and techniques specifically tailored for high school students:

Establish a Routine: Create a daily schedule that includes time for studying, hobbies, relaxation, exercise, and sufficient sleep. A consistent routine helps in managing stress and maintaining a sense of control.

Prioritize Sleep: Ensure you get adequate sleep each night (around 8-9 hours) as it directly impacts mood, concentration, and overall well-being. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends.

Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice mindfulness techniques or meditation to calm your mind and reduce stress. Apps like Headspace or Calm offer guided meditation sessions suitable for beginners.

Physical Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity or sports that you enjoy. Exercise not only improves physical health but also releases endorphins, boosting mood and reducing stress.

Healthy Nutrition: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugary foods, as they can negatively impact energy levels and mood.

Limit Screen Time: Reduce the time spent on electronic devices and social media platforms. Constant exposure to screens can contribute to stress and anxiety. Take breaks and engage in offline activities.

Creative Outlets: Explore creative activities such as painting, writing, music, or crafts. These outlets offer a means of self-expression and can serve as stress-relieving hobbies.

Journaling: Maintain a journal to express thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Writing can be a therapeutic way to process emotions and gain clarity on various situations.

Set Boundaries: Learn to say no when you feel overwhelmed by commitments. Establish boundaries in relationships and commitments to prevent burnout.

Social Connections: Nurture positive relationships with friends and family. Spend time with people who support and uplift you. Surround yourself with a supportive community.

Relaxation Techniques: Practice deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or visualization techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Take Breaks: Break up study sessions with short breaks to prevent mental fatigue. Incorporate activities that refresh your mind, such as going for a walk or listening to music.

Seek Help When Needed: Don’t hesitate to seek help from a counselor, teacher, or trusted adult if you're feeling overwhelmed or experiencing persistent feelings of anxiety or sadness.

Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Embrace mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow rather than being overly critical. Practice self-compassion and positive self-talk.

Engage in Nature: Spend time outdoors, whether it's a walk in the park, hiking, or simply enjoying natural surroundings. Nature has a calming effect and can reduce stress levels.

Remember, self-care is an ongoing practice. Experiment with different techniques to discover what works best for you. Consistently incorporating these habits into your routine can significantly contribute to maintaining a healthy and balanced life during your high school years.

location: local hiking trail just outside of aurora bay

Lorelai had lost track of how long they had been hiking through the forest at the base of the mountain, the canopy of trees their only protection from the mid-afternoon sun that threatened to turn their necks and shoulders the same shade as beetroot if they weren't quick enough on their hike. Lorelai had suggested taking the easier route up the mountain, one that was designed for beginners and wasn't too strenuous for the hiker.

So, why was she already sweating?

"Remind me again why we decided to follow the sage advice of some nature loving hippy on Tiktok?" Lorelai huffed as she advances through the thicket, allowing the map on her phone to guide her as she pulled her sweatshirt over her head and began wrapping it around her waist. @macaulaymontgomery
