Thoughts on 1 week of intensive social deprivation for meditation?

I've genuinely been kicking around the idea of taking a week off of my work (a part time thing), and since I'm currently on summer, and just isolating myself completely and intensely.

My ideas for this week include: -No speaking or talking, or communicating with anyone else of any kind. -No worldly pleasures. I smoke, jerk off, play video games, etc. But during this week none of that nor any thing like that. -Fasting during the day (this one I'm still up in the air on. On one hand, I feel that food really grounds you into the physical reality, and that fasting could really help me go deeper into myself; on the other hand, I've never fasted before and would very much like input on this part)

Things that I am allowed: -A notebook and pens to document and log my experience -A musical instrument (this is another one I'm undecided on. While I do see music as an inspiration and expression of our souls on somewhat a spiritual level, I feel as if this is too much of "a thing to do", and may distract me from taking it all in)

I think my biggest inspiration for wanting to try this is feeling as if my life has taken such dramatic turns, most for the better. It truly feels like, for the first time in a long time, I'm at a new chapter of my life. I want to truly appreciate it, and I feel almost as if it's something I'm not only ready for, but needing.

Again, all thoughts are very much welcome. Thank you in advance, hope you're all having a wonderful night.
