Self-reflection is like holding a gentle light up to your inner world. It helps you understand your thoughts, choices, patterns, and emotional needs. When you take time to reflect, you learn why you react a certain way, why some experiences hurt deeply, or why certain behaviors repeat. This understanding opens the door to change. Growth doesn’t happen by chance — it happens when you recognize what needs attention and commit to healing it. Reflection helps you grow not by judging yourself, but by learning from your experiences.
