Step Ten

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


Inventory lists can help create the habit of practicing self-awareness and an open pathway to God. Intentional daily inventories help identify patterns, practice self-forgiveness, and foster healthy relationships. Here are two sample sets of questions:

Morning Inventory

  1. What am I grateful for?
  2. What is my emotional, physical, and spiritual state this morning? Name it without fixing it.
  3. What do I need today to take care of myself? (rest, nourishment, movement, quiet, connection, boundaries, honesty, ask for help, etc.)
  4. How can I stay connected to God within me today?
  5. What do I need to let go and surrender? 
  6. How will I practice mindfulness today? (meditation, journaling, breath work, therapy, etc.)
  7. What do I need to release right now to avoid carrying it into the day?

Evening Inventory

  1. What am I grateful for?
  2. What did I do well today?
  3. Did I take care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually? 
  4. What feelings did I experience today? Did I acknowledge and express them appropriately?
  5. Where did I act from old patterns and control, fix, or please?
  6. Where was I wrong or out of alignment with my values? Admit without shame and consider an amend.
  7. What do I need to turn over to God tonight, so I don’t carry it into tomorrow?
