To guard your heart is to keep it in check, to make healthy (right) decisions for it. For our physical hearts, we eat right, exercise, and get regular checkups at the doctor. Our spiritual hearts need even more care and protection. Practicing righteousness (ie. applying the breastplate) does not just require thinking rightly and doing the right things; it also requires that we put a stop to wrong thinking and wrong behavior. You can’t be pure if you’re putting impurities into your mind (movies, books, music, etc.). You can’t be content if you’re spending time focusing on people who have the life you want (social media). You have to install a mental filter, taking captive every thought and aligning it with the standard of the Word of God.
