Reflection
Reflection is essential to your brain’s ability to encode learning into long-term memory.
It also serves to make new neural connections which enable pivoting, broadening, and building new perspectives.
As a cognitive state, reflection is a distinct process from focusing or problem-solving.
Reflection and focus serve complementary functions.
As distinct processes, they leverage different pathways within the brain.
This means you cannot simultaneously focus and reflect.
Dedicating space for reflection is critical for learning.
Facilitating learning is an essential underpinning for behaviour change.
Behaviour change is core to pivoting perspectives and facilitating understanding.
