keeping to
Not straying from
Keeping to means adhering to or staying within established limits.
You keep to a schedule by following it, keep to a budget by not exceeding it, keep to a path by not straying from it.
She kept to her routine despite the chaos.
The phrase implies discipline or self-restraint—maintaining boundaries rather than wandering beyond them.
