Reflection is something that more and more people are talking about today. We're told that
it will help us to improve our performance- either at school or in the workplace. But a lot of
us aren't sure exactly what reflection is. The simplest definition of reflection is that it's

careful thought. It involves thinking about what has happened to you and analyzing your
actions and the beliefs that led to them in a lot of detail. When you reflect, your brain can
take a break from the chaos of normal life, organize the experiences you have had and find

some meaning in them. Reflection is, therefore, a learning process that lets you grow and
develop as a person. And the evidence suggests that reflection is a learning process that
improves our quality of life. For example, a study of people travelling to work in the UK,

found that the commuters who used their journey to work to think about their day and plan
the next day were happier, more productive and less burned out than those who didn't. So
why do people often avoid reflection? Some people find it difficult to think back to and

analyse to what they've done, and others think it's better to just take action instead.
Whatever your opinion about reflection, it might be worth at least giving it a very try and
finding out it can make you happier and more productive.
