Monk mode Routine

mgtoown · 2021-02-22T07:46:53+00:00

I went monk mode for a while. I'm back banging a chick regularly now but told her I won't live with her, nor get married and she's somewhat ok with that.

Monk mode isn't any big secret. It just means you don't chase ass anymore. You abstain. You focus 100% on you. Fix your diet. Buy fresh fruit, peppers, onion, make fresh food for dinner even if it's a sandwich for goodness sakes - it doesn't need to be a restaurant quality meal.

You're living on your terms. Exercise more, focus on leveling up in your career. Monk mode is a great way to live. I think at some point I'll be back to monk mode...I actually gained my first promotion ever when I was going through monk mode.... Give it a solid shot and you may find it rewarding and peaceful.

My routine is normal I guess lol. But I’ll run-down the average day for me.

Phase one: Wake up, shower, shave, brush teeth, etc.
Phase two: Eat a small (but healthy, mainly meat / dairy or vegetables) breakfast, do coursework & go to work
Phase 3: Eat lunch (bigger than breakfast, again consisting of mainly meat / dairy and vegetables), then lift / walk or jog for 1-2 hours.
Phase 4: Relax (watch tv, game, read), eat dinner (whatever it may be), then relax again and go to bed.

While my transition into a fully monk life has been hard, and I’m still in this transition, I have already noticed a lot of improvement. My mind is free to focus on my purpose, I’m much more motivated, and I’m much more organized to start. I’ve been taking a lot more initiative and have been working harder. I have also been much more open to learning to benefit myself, not to impress others (women). I’m only 19 and in community college, but this lifestyle has already motivated me to set my life on a much better track and to think logically. It also encouraged me (going along with the initiative and ethic improvement) to fully commit to a better diet. While I occasionally eat fast food, I rarely eat sweets or any fake foods anymore. Now I eat meats / fish, dairy, vegetables (specifically beets & greens), and potatoes / sweet potatoes for my carbs. I’ve fit my diet with my lifting regimen as well as I’m trying to build a better physique. Overall, I would say monk mode has many mental benefits (no doubt from switching off the time-wasters and conserving your life force) which in turn will benefit every other aspect of your life.

When I was just starting my career, my weekly routine was just work, spend my off-work time in upskilling and learning basics of personal finance and investing, and some socializing over the weekend.

Now that I'm satisfied with the money I'm making (my expenses are 10% of my salary, and I'm debt free), my routine is work 8 hours a day and no more, and spend off work time in other activities that I'm interested in, trying to find if there's something I'd like to do for the rest of my life.

5 AM. Wake up. First workout. it consists of burpees, pull ups an lifting light weights with high repetitions with 3 different workouts that target different parts of the body. Then it’s breakfast and off to work.

After work it’s watering my garden, my 5 mile walk, dinner and some isometric exercises after dinner. Time left over is spent in hobbies like music or screwing around. As the days get longer I will be able to change it up further with my pursuits in archery.

Weekends are household chores, personal business and doing things I don’t do during the week. Once a week I do go out (typically to my local dive bar) for interaction with people outside of my job.

It’s a simple life. To some it might seem dull. I miss playing music as a semi pro but I don’t have the motivation to dedicate the required time to produce a product that I would put my name behind and i no longer crave that energy exchange with an audience. There’s also the reality that social media participation is mandatory for booking and promoting.

Id rather be left alone.

The underlying philosophy of the Monk Mode is a honest and truthful pursuit of knowledge and self realization. Studying, Learning, Practicing and Improving on your particular areas of interest.

If you like books, take the time to actually read the authors people keep mentioning under shallow understanding. If you like musical instruments, take the time to improve your skills beyond mediocre levels and so on.

Monk mode is not about abstaining from things, but rather experiencing what truly makes us Homo Sapiens with profound intensity and dedication, that is (for me, at least), Reasoning, Creativity, The Pursuit of Knowledge, Art, Self Realization and Curiosity.

Simultaneously, the Monk Mode is a protective measure against what prevents us from reaching our full potential; and that we can all list based on the primal aspects of what (ironically) also makes us Homo Sapiens.

Have a good day, my friend!

No routine. Good decision? It was more like I lost all interest. Not really any binary choice or anything, just don't really...care.

Benefit? Lots of money, unlimited free time, zero expectations, and what little fun there is, is negated by the negatives.

Hassle free life.

Improve your diet now while you can, it'll get hella worse.

Imho its a bottoms up approach: fix your diet and sleep schedule. Delete your games and unsubscribe those youtube channels, that are junkfood-information. Start exercising, but start with baby steps: 30min per day in the first week. Not more. Just my 2 cents

I hear the, I am trying Monk, but I have gotten lazy and unhealthy. How do you do this?

Get a new focus. Some people become health nuts for their own benefit. Others take a new hobby or just work harder to make more money.

Bottomline is to have a purpose. Not just existing, or worse subsisting.

Wake.

Options trading.

Bs on Discord with fellow traders.

1pm, market closed. Chill outside with dogs reading this forum. Sit in the sun in only shorts for vitamin D, read a book for a 30-45 min.

Nap time! 45-90 minutes.

Read.

6pm, head to Jiu Jitsu.

9pm — check futures market.

Hit 100-200 mg of edibles for sleep prep (heavy night owl otherwise)

Watch a movie or whatever. Maybe search for those damn Korok seeds for Zelda:Breath is the Wild on Master mode. Read, draw or surf the web.

Slumber around 12.

Left off food, I’m back into eating one meal a day. I typically do a big lunch after trading or a big meal after Jiu Jitsu. Depends how my body feels. Or I’ll skip a day or two. Trying to chisel down to break 10% body fat.

Well... I guess you could start by Allan Watts.

Meditation is to clear and regain control of your ego.

Reading religious texts might be a good idea.

And then there is the whole "giving things up" which comes from the idea that when we desire certain things like music, a certain sized home, beer, a dog, and sex are what make us miserable because our desires make us unhappy until they are met. Some people are only desires inside a head with the body acting in a way to meet those desires. Eventually we reach peak dopamine and have to endlessly get entangled into more levels of comfort, addiction and the rest. Part of being a monk is choosing what level of things you choose to live without. You can drink no beer and sleep on wooden board, or you can sleep on hay and have a beer with dinner. Other people drink whisky daily and sleep on a waterbed, but are miserable. There has to be a balance, because everybody has a different vice and different things they can't manage to live without and be happy.

Personally, I am Christian, but I think the path to personal fulfillment and general contentedness is separate from the path to heaven.
