Stop postponing your monk mode by endlessly deliberating. I know your type. Sack the fuck up and commit already. If you commit, you will see results. If you don't, you won't.

As an introvert, I kind of grew up in monk mode. It's not that I had trouble making friends, it's that I enjoyed solitary activities, like how a child will play with his toy cars for hours in his own world. I would make imaginary baseball leagues, or play D&D by myself. As I got older I realized that I was good at disappearing into the library for hours. Sure, I enjoyed partying and chasing skirts and playing basketball, but there was a certain amount of time that I needed to be alone.

After I graduated from college I moved to a big city and encountered some harsh realities. My girlfriend dumped me and I couldn't get a date to save my life. Before I knew there was a term for it, I went into monk mode, studying German, reading philosophy and literature, working out, and writing creatively. It was a time where I learned about what I wanted out of life, how different things I'd learned fit in the real world, and how the real world could be a cold, brutal place.

I then quit my job and started traveling the world. I had become a much richer (figuratively), wiser, more mature person who could read other people much faster and had something to contribute to almost any conversation. Greater success with women followed naturally because I was more confident in who I was and what I wanted from the world.

And then I got married and lost all that confidence and fell into deep despair.

Monk mode gives what you put in. Stop being a procrastinator and get fucking busy.

Who cares what other people's results are. What do you want your results to be? Stop lacking confidence and tell yourself you're going to get to work.

This is man time. No more, I'm going to let people do shit for me. It's time to be an adult man. That's what you'll get from monk mode. Your efforts will change your life or you'll fail in the process. Happiness comes from within. This is what you'll learn if you could listen to your inner man voice.

Just dont ever go into monk mode thinking you will be missed, go in for yourself and no one else.

Once there you will realize you are there and are there alone, all those beta activities that made it "seem" like girls were texting, those girls you were tutoring, doing errands for, spending money on... they will be gone and you will only have yourself in the mirror to face.

Its kind of refreshing, yet depressing at the same time, especially when the phone stops ringing, or the fact you could pass in your apartment and it could be weeks before someone notices. But at the same time of actually giving back to yourself, taking a constructive hobby, working out on your time not being a beta bitch for anyone, it will truly open your eyes.

Take the jump and never look back.
