Monk mode

Are you feeling burnt out and in need of some serious self-care and personal development? Or perhaps you’re simply looking for a way to reconnect with your inner self and tap into your spiritual side. If so, the concept of “monk mode” may be just what you need.

Monk mode refers to the practice of adopting a monk-like lifestyle for a set period of time, “typically 21 to 90 days”, with the intention of focusing on personal development and spiritual growth. It’s a chance to disconnect from the distractions and stressors of everyday life and dedicate yourself fully to your own growth and well-being.

1. Meditation

This ancient practice has been shown to have numerous benefits for both the mind and body, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved focus and concentration, and increased feelings of calm and relaxation. However, it’s important to note that the effects of meditation may not be immediately apparent.

• In the first 10 days of your meditation practice, you may not see any noticeable changes. Don’t let this discourage you! It takes time and consistent practice to experience the full benefits of meditation.
• By day 10-14, you may start to notice changes in your cognitive abilities and an increase in mental pain and self-doubt. This can be a challenging phase, as your mind may try to resist the changes you’re trying to make. But trust the process and continue to meditate daily.
• It’s necessary for building a strong, resilient mind.

2. Exercise

In addition to meditation, it’s important to incorporate exercise into your daily routine during monk mode. Physical activity has numerous benefits for both the body and mind, including reducing stress, improving mood, and increasing energy levels.

• Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise for 6 days a week. This could be something as simple as a brisk walk or a yoga session. Whatever activity you choose, make sure it’s something you enjoy so that it doesn’t feel like a chore.
• After a certain period, you should achieve a state where it is more difficult to “NOT EXERCISE” than “EXERCISE”.

“When meditation and exercise become a habit,

it’s ‘HARDER TO NOT DO THEM’ than to do it”.

3. Alcohol and smoking

Another important aspect of monk mode is abstaining from alcohol and smoking.

• It’s easy to run away from your thoughts and mind and use these habits as an excuse for sleeping better, relieving pain etc.
• You should stop playing this game of excuses that you have been playing for years with yourself.
• These habits can be detrimental to your overall health and well-being, and it’s important to eliminate any distractions that may hinder your progress. If you’re struggling with addiction, now is the perfect time to seek support and work towards overcoming it.

4. Custom based habits

In addition to these core practices, there are also a number of other activities you may want to consider incorporating into your monk mode journey.

• For example, you could try praying or engaging in other spiritual practices that resonate with you.
• Reading can also be a great way to expand your knowledge and broaden your perspective.
• And don’t be afraid to engage in conversations with intelligent people and individuals from the opposite sex. These interactions can help to expose you to new ideas and insights and deepen your understanding of the world around you.
• Consider taking daily nature walks during monk mode to help you reconnect with the natural world and clear your mind.
• Consider volunteering or participating in service work during monk mode to connect with others and make a positive impact on the world.
• Consider trying a new creative hobby, like painting, drawing, or writing, during monk mode.

Any other custom-based, your own business-based, career-building habits should be focused upon during this phase. Consistent dedication and hard work must be done during this phase.

Monk mode can be a challenging but deeply rewarding experience. By committing to a structured daily routine and focusing on personal development, you can make significant progress towards your goals and achieve a greater sense of inner peace and clarity. So if you’re feeling stuck or simply looking for a way to connect with your higher self, consider giving monk mode a try. You may be surprised by the transformative effects it can have on your life.
