Monk mode starts with illumination of oneself, first you've to be aware of two (2) things. What you don't want in life and where you'll be if you keep doing the same thing you're doing now. This is the first step to self control, balance, awareness, consciousness and connecting to source. This could as well be your best chance to get into alignment with thyself and know your purpose. With deep introspect, I've been able to discern what's right and whats wrong, unlearned to learn the new, changing my old belief system of "i can't" to "i am, I will, & I deserve" which prompted me to reflect on my dark side, heal concealed trauma, forgave my parents and siblings and started loving myself more.
