• 00:05:00 The video discusses how to take back control of your life by following three non-negotiable rules: meditation for 10 minutes a day, exercise for 30 minutes a day, and no alcohol or weed. Monk Mode, a different type of mindfulness protocol created by the speaker, is also discussed. After following the three rules for 30 days, the viewer is able to face their emotions more easily and build more energy. Other variables that can be added to the monk mode protocol include sticking to a diet and doing outreach work in one's business. Some examples of action that could be taken include deleting social media accounts, calling one's parents, and working on relationships.
• 00:10:00 Monk Mode is a practice of living a minimalistic, rule-bound lifestyle that allows for increased focus and productivity. The practice can be done with three main components: meditation, exercise, and no alcohol or weed. Breaking one of the rules, such as drinking caffeine or going to parties, can make the practice more intense. One's environment can also affect one's ability to follow the monk mode lifestyle, as living in a city with many social distractions makes it difficult to follow the rules.
