Reflection
Reflection is consciously pausing over an experience to better understand its meaning, consequences, and possible conclusions.
Definition
Reflection supports learning, self-knowledge and more mature decisions when it leads to pattern recognition and action correction. It differs from rumination in that it has a direction: it helps you reach a conclusion, rather than just replaying the same pain or problem over and over again.

Common misunderstanding
