Why is Reflection important?Reflection allows you to process experiences, gain insights, and grow as a person. When you take the time to reflect, you can evaluate what's going well in your life and what isn't working for you. If you’re tackling a tough problem, reflection helps you step back, see the bigger picture, and maybe spot a solution you missed in the heat of the moment. It’s also key for emotional awareness—thinking about why you felt a certain way can make you more in tune with yourself and better at handling future situations. On the flip side, skipping reflection can leave you stuck in loops, repeating the same errors without even realizing it. It’s not about obsessing over the past—it’s about using it as a tool to move forward smarter.
