Can I Live Like a Monk for 35 Days? Personal challenge. Day 1 – Follow along!



Hello Wanderers!

I have been fascinated by all things self-discipline for a long time – including ascetic or monastic lifestyles of all sorts of theologies from around the world. So I am taking on a personal challenge.
I’ve done a little reading on some of the core lifestyle disciplines (NOT religious practices) of Buddhist monks of various sects and created six rules that I will follow as a personal health and wellness challenge.
Important for me to share. I am not comparing my silly challenge to the challenging lives and deeply held religious beliefs of actual monks. This name I gave my challenge is a nod to what inspired me – not a comparison of myself to monks.
I also am not advocating for any of these practices – I am not a doctor. I am just a normal guy who is curious about wellness and personal discipline.

Those rules are detailed in my day 1 video of this challenge!
