Heart-searching is when you look hard at your own feelings and at why you did something. You turn the light inward and ask, Was I honest? Did I do this for a good reason? After much heart-searching means you thought about it for a long time, and it was not easy. Though actually, soul-searching is the phrase many people use more often, with the same meaning. Heart-searching sounds a little more British, a little more like a book than like talk. It is not a doctor looking at your real heart; it is you looking at the part of you that cares and chooses.
捫心自問、自我省思（和較常見的 soul-searching 意思相近）
組成heart（這裡指心情、本心）+ searching（仔細找、仔細看）。
