Reflection means thinking about something that has happened to you in the past. Example: I reflected on our loss in our last basketball game.
Hindsight means to look at something in another point of view. Usually after something has happened to you.

reflection (depending on how it's used in the sentence) can mean thinking about something for a considerable time
hindsight means looking back and realizing something about something that has happened, usually realizing a mistake
