Vitamin D with Dawn Dai

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to motivation. Yeah. That thing that's gonna get you started so you can get doin whatever it is that you want to do. We all can use it, right? In fact, I think that we all need it. I was listening to this track by Spiritual Tony it's entitled "Motivation," and in it, he says, "This that go and get it with no hesitation. This that never quit. Start that elevation."

Look, I don't know where you're at or what you're going through. But if you can look up, you can get up. He continues on, "This that process. This that inner making." Sometimes you got gotta break in order to get through. That's why they call it a breakthrough. Just like a frequency you go down so that you can get up.

Spiritual Tony continues, "This that opportunity. Meet in preparation." They say you don't have to get ready if you stay ready, stay ready for your dreams. Stay ready for your best life. Find the motivation wherever you can. Just grab it. Hold on to it. Pursue it and nurture it. It's yours for the asking.

All right. That's it. For your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

When was the last time you took inventory of the “things” you are holding onto? At some point, we have to make the decision to “let go.” Let go of the things that no longer serve us and make space for the things that do.

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to being free. What does free look like to you? Truly, when I think of freedom, I think of peace. You can breathe. You can relax. There's joy. I was listening to this track by Perri Jones it's entitled "Free" and in it she belts, "I'm free. I'm human, but I'm comfortable with me. I'm capable. Got everything I need. I'm focused on living out my dreams."

Yes. Yeah, that's perhaps that's what freedom is. That's what freedom looks like. And, you know, she goes on to say, "I don't need validation to tell me who I am. I have lived the situation and I have learned to understand. There's no such thing as limitations. I exceed expectations. I have learned to love me."

What!? That's what you talk about being free. Perhaps that's what freedom is. Freedom is making that space for you to exist, to be everything that you are. Nothing more, nothing less. But just to be you. I implore you to be free.

All right, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to change. Change... it's uncomfortable, yet it is inevitable. As long as we are living, as long as we are existing. As long as we are being, we have to expect change. Change lets us know that we're alive. Change is good and change is uncomfortable. Heck, we even see the change between a caterpillar and a butterfly.

That's when the butterfly takes flight. So I have to ask you, are you ready for change? I was listening to this track entitled "Just a Cloud Away" by Pharrell Williams, and in it he talks about change. He talks about how things have a boomerang effect because things aren't meant to stay the same. But it's like we shouldn't fret, right? Because we've been here before.

We have survived 100% of our worst days. So why are we trippin' now? He quotes "everything is cyclical. What goes around does come back around, baby. Everything boomerangs. What goes up must come down." Just like the energy. Just like the vibe. The exact makeup of you. So why would your life be any different? Celebrate your wins as much as the losses.

When you can look up, you can get down. And when you are down, guess what? You know that you're getting back up. Accept the change. Be the change. See the change?

All right. That's it. For your dose of vitamin D. Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to being un-mother-freakin'-bothered. You feel me? I was listening to this track by Looney. It's called "Either Side." And in it she talks about comparing herself to the earth and being envious of the earth in a good way. She says, "I'mma turn it full circle. It's not a lot that I know, but the sun sets and it comes back again. The world remains unbothered. I want to move with that much confidence."

Life is vibration, right? They've got the ups and the downs. That's the consistency. That's the flow. And either way you look at it, you're going to have your good days and you're gonna have your bad days. But just like a circle is gonna come back around again and if we take note just like the earth, whether the sun rises or it sets, the world remains unbothered because it knows it's going to make its way back again.

So remind yourself that whether you on top of your mountain or deep down your valley it's coming back around again. You got to stay consistent. You got to keep going. You got to stay optimistic. All things are working on your favor. So remain unbothered. Keep walking in your truth. But more importantly, step into the light so that you can shine.

Because we living life on purpose and for a purpose, right? All right. Well, that's it. For your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to being seen. It's stepping into the light. Yes. I was in the gym the other day and this track came on and immediately, I didn't have my phone on me, I looked to Lateef, I said, What is this? Can you shazam this? The song was talking about being in the light.

So he Shazamed it and it's this track called "Heaven on My Mind" by Becky Hill featuring Sigala and in it, she says, "I never thought I'd be so high. There's no need for me to hide." And I said, "Mmm." Kind of like "Vitamin D," right? Shedding light on who you are. Loving who you are in all that you are.

Understanding that what allows a diamond to shine are the multitudes of cuts that have been placed within it. She goes on to say, "Now I'm standing in the light. Everything is going to be all right." What is fear? F.alse E.vidence A.ppearing R.eal. You only fear what you do not see. Well, if you can see yourself, how amazing can you really be?

I want to challenge you to step into the light. Be seen in all that you are and all who you are. OK? We step in and light the season and we're shining for the whole world to see. Because that's peace. That's what we call heaven on our mind.

All right. Well, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to "regular people." Now, I know you may have been shocked. You're like, "Dawn, what do you mean being regular? Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary?" Well, I think sometimes we place a lot of pressure on ourselves, and we forget the fact that we are just human. So you know what I do when I do what I do.

I was listening to some music, and I came across this track entitled "Regular People," featuring Mahalia, Hamzaa and Lucky Daye and in it, the track talks about what it means to be a regular person. To feel, to experience life. What I received from it is the whole notion of having grace. Which is giving yourself space.

But in it, the lyrics go, "put your hands up if you love your skin. What you wear are the clothes you're in." There's no need for any type of mask, no type of imitation. It's just you showing up as you. And see, that's what I feel, what it means to be a "regular person," just to be who you are. No expectation of what THIS person looks like or what THIS person should do. It's just, you doing you.

The song goes on to say, "'Cause we're in what and who we are is good enough." Half the time we try to put other things on to mask who we are because we feel like we aren't at a standard. We feel that we haven't met the mark. But what if I told you you was enough? Because you are.

Forget the notion of trying to show up always ready. Be in the act of being ready, getting ready, being and doing and breathing. That's what I want for you, ok? Understand we are all just regular people.

All right, that's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."

Today's dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to self-love. I did not say love for somebody else. Love for something else. I said, love for yourself. Do you love yourself or do you just tolerate yourself? What are you doing to show that you love yourself?

I thought about this as I was listening to this track entitled "Self Love" by Jayson Lyric featuring Nevaeh and in it Nevaeh starts belting, "I've been working on me. I've been loving on me. I had to learn to love myself." Do you love yourself? Are you taking time with yourself? Are you doing the work to show the appreciation you have for yourself?

You don't have to answer that to me. I just want to know if you have the answer for yourself. Then Jayson goes on to say, and he spits his bars, "Always bet on yourself and best believe it. Self-hate we must unteach it." Take a chance on yourself. Believe in yourself. Allow yourself to see the truth in yourself. That's what self-love is. It's appreciating, it's admiring. It's believing. It's achieving all those things for self to self. And you'll start to notice that when you love yourself, you'll start shining.

Jayson goes on to say, "Something got to glory. Can't put my finger on it. God took his time on. You had to linger on it." You're beautiful and I want you to see that. See that by showing love for yourself and to yourself. Self-love is the way to go.

All right. That's it for your dose of "Vitamin D." Be sure to follow us on all social media @VitaminDDawnDai and until next time, always remember, "you are your greatest asset."
