I was asked to write about this in a previous post I made on here. Now I have been lurking TRP for almost a year now and have made tremendous changes. It's opened my eyes and made me leave a relationship I thought would satisfy my needs. After reading all the theory, I saw how all women think, and yes AWALT. I went into monk mode because I was disgusted with my BP mindset and wanted to change it up. My result of coming out of monk mode has blown my mind. So you're probably going to want to know how to blow your own mind, lets start with the basics. This will be a long post but you're going to want to read this. It's hard, but I'll do it all over again if I have to because the rewards are amazing. Practice at your own risk.

-Your basics: DIET and lots of water. In health care, you have your Maslow's Pyramid of needs. Your foundation will be food, water, and air. Set up a strong foundation with a good diet to fit your health needs.

-Clean up your lifestyle: Up from your foundation is your Shelter. So clean it the fuck up. Not just your room/house but your outfit(s) and your car. This will help you go a long way.You can't progress further into monk mode success until you meet these needs.

Now we go more advance. My goal of monk mode is to become truly happy being alone and instill the abundance mindset in reality.

-Women don't exist in this time period. No Tinder, no day game, nothing. You truly focus on yourself. The timing on this varies for each person. It's when you feel truly happy with yourself and you love yourself. I needed 4 months.

-Your bros: you need them. Spend your time with those who are socially or economically steps above you. Build connections in reality, none of that Bumble BFF's bullshit.

-Work your ass off. If you want to go the entrepreneur route like I did, then you better be working a job to help fund that. Stay fucking busy. I worked two nursing jobs and had my business to operate. Otherwise, work as much as you can and you will forget that you're even doing monk mode.

-WORK OUT: You will read "Just lift" on this website everywhere. It's true. I clocked at least 1.5 hours in the gym daily. I love the gym and I get agitated when I have to miss a day of working out. The gym is not free time. It is mandatory.

-Fix your health problems. I have a bad knee from years of soccer as a child and chronic acne since I was 18. I'm 24 now and took care of these in my monk period. Say what you want about prescription acne meds, but it's cheap and not having acne has increased my SMV significantly.

-NO porn. No porn by any means. Porn is mental poison. If you can't resist the urge the watch porn, then go read other guides because you're not ready for monk unless you're able to control yourself which is a RP basic.

-Jerking off is okay, to a degree. I'm a Registered Nurse and have done countless studies, using credible sources, that shows that jerking off is okay to an extent. Now this was at the start of my monk and I didn't save these sources. I'm not going to look for them because I have a business to operate. Real RP'd men know how to control themselves and not being able to resist the urge to jerk off means you can't do that. I would do it every other week or every month simply to meet my basic physiological needs. But by no means would I do it while I was urged.

-Explore different shit: This is IF you happen to run across some free time. It's okay to be bored during this time. It happened a few times to me. But you're trying to make yourself happy now and being bored will bring you down. I discovered that I wanted to sing like Danny Worsnop does in Asking Alexandria's first two albums. So I've been practicing doing that and I have a lot of fun without spending a dime.

-Have some fun in the time. No girls. Nope. But hang out with your boys or even lift with them (you'll have to lift for longer because your boys will distract you in the gym). This period does feel like you're working yourself to the maximum and can be psychologically draining so you will need to unwind. If you want to play video games, it's okay but don't overdo it. An hour or two is okay.

-No drugs (besides prescription) and no alcohol. No exceptions. Getting high/drunk will hold you back and you will make no progress. If all your friends drink or get high, then do the next step.-Cut out anything holding you back. I did it. I haven't looked back.-Family is important. Connect with your parents, siblings, etc.

-Keep reading TRP and build your knowledge. Once you are done with making yourself happy, then you start practicing all that theory you learned. That is how you instill the abundance mentality.

It's taken me days to write this. But this is how I did my monk mode. So what is my life like? I have four friends with benefits, three sources of income, work out as much as I can (I get called in a few times), I'm always spending my time with someone/some people, I'm studying a third language, my mood is always 7/10 or above.
