There are three types of Reflection:

Reflection is the most important because the science behind reflection is compelling. We know intuitively that we learn by experience and also that we learn from our mistakes. But research is increasingly telling us that without the process of actively thinking about those experiences, and questioning ourselves about what they mean, learning doesn’t really happen. What gets us from experience to understanding is reflection. With the aid of a simple question like 'what did I do well in that situation?', 'what could I do differently', we can make small but cumulative steps to doing things better.

Reflection also helps to provide deeper learning by looking at situations through a different lens and by asking yourself searching questions that challenge one’s assumptions about the world around you.We also have a tendency to focus on the negative. An exercise in reflection or self-assessment provides a structured and safe way to think about the positive as well.

This simple but powerful concept is based on research that shows that the most important factor in boosting people’s motivation is in making progress in meaningful work.
