Reflection and Reflexivity

Reflection is the conscious process of thinking back on your actions, decisions, and experiences to understand what happened, why it happened, and how it affected results. Reflexivity goes a step further, involving awareness of how your own perspective, biases, and identity influence your understanding and interactions. It’s about recognizing your role in the process and adjusting accordingly. Both practices help improve future decisions, foster self-awareness, and ensure more thoughtful, unbiased approaches, especially in research or professional settings.
