rule of life
Personal conduct code
A rule of life is a structured set of practices and commitments that guide daily living, typically oriented toward spiritual growth or intentional living.
The concept comes from monastic traditions—the Rule of Saint Benedict being the most famous—but has spread to secular contexts.
A personal rule of life might include habits of prayer, rest, work, and relationships: Her rule of life includes morning meditation and weekly sabbath rest.
