Plans
Plans are step-by-step guides to developing a specific virtue. This involves education, actions to take, and a tool to help track your growth.
While these plans cannot guarantee virtue growth, they provide the first steps towards a more virtuous life, which is the goal of the VIRTUS application.
Reflection
Developing virtues through reflecting on past incidents
Our goal is to develop these positive dispositions we call virtues; by reflecting on them in a journal, as well as noting incidents where we fell short, we can develop these dispositions further.
Repetition
Form virtue by repeatedly practicing it over time
Some virtues are very simple, in essence: we simply must exercise them over and over, across a long period of time, to form them. For these virtues, the Repetition plan seeks to define what steps to take and then track how often they are taken using a calendar.
Nutrition
Improve one's eating habits
Eating well involves learning about nutrition, how what we eat impacts our health, and how to adjust what we eat and when. We use our NutriTracker tool to help make this process at seamless and effective as we can.
Activity
Improve health through physical activity
An essential component to fitness and health is our physical activity; this plan seeks to establish healthy activity habits for long-term health.
