I've reached the point in my journey where I need to face & defeat (or accept) some internal monsters without distractions in order to move forward; therefore I'm going into monk mode. I will be following "The Illimitable Men" Three I's: introspection, isolation, and improvement.

I'm aware that during this time, tears will be shed, emotions/thoughts I've kept bottled up will come to the surface, and my world-view will be radically changed. For brothers who have gone through monk mode, is there any advice you can give?

Thanks.
