327. The Habits You Can't See | Pattern Recognition
Send us Fan Mail You notice something familiar. A feeling rises. Before you know it, your mind has decided what the moment means. Some of our strongest habits happen beneath the surface. They are the assumptions we repeat when we feel pressure: This always happens. I know how this ends. I have to fix it right now. In this episode of The Kathie Owen Perspective , Kathie explores the connection between thought habits, pattern recognition, and emotional regulation. She shares why a familiar pattern can feel like proof, and how awareness in the pause gives us room to choose our next step. In this episode: How pattern recognition helps us—and when it can lead us to a conclusion too soon Why a strong feeling can make one difficult moment seem permanent What Neville Goddard’s work on assumptions can help us notice The difference between pausing on the outside and becoming aware on the inside How prayer, meditation, a walk, or simply sitting with a feeling can help us return to the pause Why noticing your reaction later still counts as progress Kathie also reflects on David Hawkins’ distinction between power and force. You may take the same action either way, but the place you act from can change how you experience it. Try this today: When a familiar feeling shows up, ask yourself: What happened? What am I assuming it means? What would help me see more clearly? No shame. No condemnation. Awareness creates choice.
