What practices are included in "mortification of the flesh" in the Orthodox tradition?

An extremely simple lifestyle, with much fasting and prayer, secluded from the worldly and secular life the rest of us have to battle today.

Oh. Well, I have no real problem with that. Not at all like what Rome once advocated and urged upon monastic orders.
