Keep a journal.

You can also write down any changes you notice in your internal and external disposition.

If you find yourself getting into a ton of social engagements, you need to learn how to be alone.

When you return to your normal life, stay away from things that offer instant gratification.
Drinking, sexual pleasure, social media etc. are things that have a high threshold for compulsion.
These offer instant ways to feel good and avoid deeper plumbing into thoughts.

A great framework for implementing Monk Mode is @JamesClear's Atomic Habits.
He says that good habits must be implemented for bad habits to be removed.
