Step 10

🔁 Step 10: Continued Self-Reflection and Accountability

Official Wording:

“Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.”

🧘 What It Means

Step 10 is about maintenance. You’ve done deep inner work—now this step helps you keep that progress alive by:

• Checking in with yourself daily

• Noticing patterns as they emerge

• Making amends quickly when mistakes are made

• Practicing emotional honesty and humility consistently

It’s not just a chore—it’s a foundation for freedom.

🌅 Why It Matters

• Prevents small slips from becoming setbacks

• Builds emotional intelligence and stronger relationships

• Creates a life grounded in awareness, forgiveness, and grace

📝 Daily Reflection Prompts

Try writing these at the end of the day:

• Did I act in line with my values today? Where did I stray?

• Was I honest, kind, and humble—or reactive and fearful?

• Did I hurt someone today? Can I take responsibility?

• What can I celebrate about my growth today?

💬 Sample Evening Entry

“Today I felt impatient during a conversation and spoke sharply. I could’ve slowed down and listened better. Tomorrow I’ll own that moment and try again. I also showed up honestly in a tough situation—I’m proud of that.”

🔄 Daily Inventory Ritual – “The Pause and Check-In”

Set aside 5–10 minutes at the end of each day, somewhere quiet. You can light a candle, play calming music, or just sit in stillness.

Steps:

1. 🌬️ Breath Check – Take three deep breaths to center yourself.

2. 🧠 Recall the Day – Mentally walk through your day from morning to evening.

3. 🔍 Ask Yourself:

   • What did I do well today?

   • Where did I fall short or react out of fear, anger, or old habits?

   • Did I hurt someone—through words, neglect, or action?

   • Did I take ownership, or can I make amends tomorrow?

4. 💖 Gratitude Moment – Name one thing you're grateful for about your growth today.

5. 🕊️ Release – Say: “I release what I cannot change, and I commit to better choices tomorrow.”
