Take Back Control - It Starts with Emotional Awareness

Have you ever felt like your emotions are running the show - making you react before you even realise what’s happening? You’re definitely not alone.

The truth is, most of us live on autopilot, reacting to life’s ups and downs without fully understanding what’s going on beneath the surface.

That’s where awareness of emotions becomes a game changer.

When you become aware of your feelings - the triggers behind them and the stories you tell yourself - you stop being a passenger and start taking the driver’s seat. You reclaim control over your reactions instead of letting your emotions control you.


Here’s how emotional awareness helps you take back your power:

  • Identify your triggers so you’re not blindsided by intense reactions
  • Understand the root cause of emotional patterns that keep repeating
  • Create space between feeling and reacting, giving you more choice
  • Shift your inner dialogue from harsh self-judgment to compassionate support
  • Experience greater peace and confidence in daily life
I’ve created a short reel that explains emotional triggers in an easy-to-understand way - because knowing why you react is the first step toward healing and freedom.

The RADIO framework provides a strong foundation for designing APIs and system integrations with consistency and maintainability in mind

  System Integrations & API Design: The RADIO Framework The RADIO framework provides a consistent, maintainable, and scalable approach to designing APIs and system integrations. It stands for Resource-oriented, Addressable, Documentable, Idempotent, and Observable. Resource-Oriented (R) Principle Focus on nouns (resources) over verbs (actions). 1. Aspect Implementation Detail Maintainability/Consistency Impact API Endpoints Use nouns in the URI (e.g., /users, /products/{id}). Employ standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) for CRUD operations. Predictability: Developers easily infer endpoint purpose. Clarity: Leverages standard REST principles, separating the what (resource) from the how (action). Data Models Define stable, versioned schemas (JSON/XML) for resource representations that reflect the resource's state. Decoupling: Protects consumers from internal system changes by maintaining a stable external API contract. 2. Addressable (A) Principle Every resource ...

While this post is largely stand-alone, consider reading parts  1  and  2  before reading this post. Have AI Add a Data Visualization We've looked at using AI to create and add UI components in prior posts. In this post I'll add a data visualization to a page. This figure shows a rendered Sales Funnel Summary page before making any changes: The goal in this post is to have AI add a data visualization of the sales funnel to the page.
