“Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help.” (Page 84, Big Book)
“Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all of our activities. “How can I best serve Thee—Thy will (not mine) be done.” These are thoughts which must go with us constantly.” (Page 85, Big Book)
The second Step Ten passage above covers what to do generally, and the first Step Ten passage above covers what happens if a slip-up is spotted. In other words, passage two is the normal state of affairs and passage one is the exception. If you’re typing in MS Word, typing is your activity, and the spell-checker occasionally spots a slip up. Step Ten is therefore chiefly about doing the right thing and occasionally about spotting where we have gone wrong. In fact 99.9% of the Step Ten is concerned with passage two not passage one, in terms of time spent.
