Better Habits

​

ARMOR's Better Habits program is a way of life that is lived one day at a time to grow in virtue, which leads to true happiness. This program hinges on 3 commitments:​​​​​

​

1. Exercise Better Habits

Exercise these 10 habits every day. Start with a short & simple version of each habit, then grow from there after some consistency.

​

🚫 Avoid near occasions

🙏 Pray without ceasing

📖 Read spiritual works

👍 Obey rightful authority

😡 Feel your emotions

🍽️ Nourish your body

💪 Strengthen your body

💵 Steward your finances

🛀 Refresh your spirit

❤️ Help your neighbor

​

2. Track Better Habits

Track completion of your better habits every day, since this is a best practice for creating or breaking a habit.

• Determine what specifically you will do for each habit above. Click each habit link for examples.

• Document each of the habits. Using a habit tracker app on your phone is best practice, but using a journal, white board, etc. also works.

• Mark each habit as completed at the end of every day. If you didn't complete a habit, reflect on why and apply the lesson to plan the next day.

 

3. Review Better​ Habits​

Review your better​​​​​ habits with someone in your ARMOR group. If you're not in a group yet, contact ARMOR to create a new group or to join an existing one. Review better habits:

• Every day in a call and

• Every week in meeting established by your group. If you're unable to attend a meeting, call someone in your ARMOR group to learn what was read (then read it privately) and to review your better habits with that person.
