reflects upon
Mulls it over
Reflects upon means to think carefully or deeply about something, often with a sense of retrospection or contemplation: She reflects upon her childhood with mixed feelings.
The phrase suggests sustained, thoughtful consideration rather than casual thought.
It can also mean to bring credit or discredit to someone or something: Your behavior reflects upon the whole family.
