self reflection
Looking inward carefully
Self reflection is the practice of examining your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
It involves stepping back to consider your motivations, mistakes, or beliefs: A little self reflection might help you understand why you keep making the same choices.
The term implies deliberate introspection rather than casual thought—a conscious effort to understand yourself better.
