I reflect three times every day

From "The Analects of Confucius" Zeng Zi said: "I examine myself three times every day. Are I unfaithful in my plans for others? Are I disloyal to my friends? Are I distrustful of my friends? Are I not accustomed to passing them on?"

Meaning It is: I reflect on myself three times a day. Am I not loyal to others when I serve as a consultant? Have you been dishonest when interacting with friends? Have you not reviewed the knowledge taught by the teacher?

The sentence you said "I reflect three times every day" means exactly this. But if it is translated, it must be translated as "I reflect many times every day". In ancient Chinese , three is a divisor and cannot be considered as "three". For example, "when three people are walking together, there must be my teacher", which also means the same.
