Step Ten is the first step of what is considered the maintenance steps. The most exciting thing about Step Ten is that it involves an introspective look into ourselves as we would consider our day. Built into the step itself is the spot-check, the end of day checkup and periodic checkup. It will also include a semiannual and annual house cleaning. It is within this personal look that we reconcile our present, so it does not become a problem of our past.
A few things to examine may include
- How did I start my day
- What was my attitude toward others
- Was there any disagreements where difficulty arose
- How was I received by others
- Did I feel balanced throughout my day
- How did my day end
By examining these basic questions, I can address my day during and after the fact to determine my next step.
By doing this daily and making the proper adjustments along the way, I am likely to live a balanced life.
