Defining Self-Reflection
Self-reflection can be defined as the process of replaying recent experiences in our minds to discover insights about ourselves. It is a personal process that can deepen one’s understanding of self and can lead to significant discoveries or insights. These insights can include clues to our values, clarity about our behaviors, and the sources of our knowledge.
Self-reflection is also a tool that helps us understand where we come from and how we define our life. It is an opportunity to test our assumptions about the world around us and uncover where we can grow and improve.
