What is Monk Mode?
Monk Mode is a popular a term within self-development practice that refers to a period of that time where life is focused on nothing but growth and discipline.
It is inspired by the practices of monks in monasteries, who follow a life of simplicity, solitude, and dedication to spiritual practice.
Some people adopt monk mode as a way to temporarily retreat from the distractions of modern life and to pursue a more intentional and meaningful way of living.
Monk mode can involve abstaining from certain activities or behaviors, such as consumption of alcohol or engaging in social media, in order to cultivate mindfulness, focus, and clarity.
For example, you might not watch TV or play video games, or you might not go to parties or see your friends as much. Instead, you might spend your time reading, writing, meditating or doing deeply focused work instead.
Monk mode can help you feel more peaceful and help you think more clearly and it's a proven way of taking care of your mind and your soul, like you'd go to the doctor to take care of your body.
