Current streak: 517 days no PMO semen retention
Some years back I was a monk, so I felt like sharing what living as a monk is:
4am: wake up everyday before 4am no excuses.Then a cold bath and hurry to pray, meditate and having a spiritual lecture
8am: breakfast and then we do different chores, some build things, others cook. Others more advanced monks dedicate the rest of the day to pray and meditate.
I was in charge of making lunch to every body, usually a different monk helped me daily in the kitchen.
12pm: I was free. I spent the rest of the day learning to play an instrument, doing meditation, yoga, learning different skills or simply enjoying nature.
5pm: we all gathered again to meditate, pray and study spiritual scriptures.
8pm: time to go to sleep.
We did this day after day.
In general is a great experience and it shows you a more spiritual side of life, the atmosphere of a monastery is very pure you only breath spirituality, monks are very special people you don't find anywhere else; money and women do not exist. You are able to get a glimpse of something beyond the materialistic world. It's a life changing experience.
Conclusion: why don't you try to spend a vacation at a monastery the energy, practices and people of the place will have a deep impact in your mind.
