Vitamin D with Dawn Dai

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to shaking it off. Between you and me, how many times have you been awarded for majoring in the minor? I don’t know about you, but for me, it’s more times than I can count. However, there comes a time when you just have to check yourself and say RE-LAX!

You must not concern yourself with matters that do not affect your bottom line. Whether it be people, situations and/or things. Heighten your awareness to know matters that are out of your control and that do not concern you. Know that people are going to say whatever they want about you and unforeseen circumstances are going to get thrown at you. So what? Just shake it off!

The best part about life is that it doesn’t stop. It just keeps going. So go with it and know that everything is going to be alright. Know that everything that happens is for your greater good and that some things are just out of your control. Take note from the hit single “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift and say, “I'm dancing on my own, I make the moves up as I go and that's what they don't know…I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake…shake it off.”

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

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to taking back your life. It’s no secret, we face trials and tribulations every day of our lives. We find ourselves with our backs up against the wall with situations that seem sky-high. We feel helpless, desperate, insecure and unworthy. As a result, we feel stuck. Stuck searching and yearning for some sort of relief. Searching for an out far and wide. But I’m here to tell you that the solution is simple, TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE.

It’s time to stop blaming circumstances and other individuals for the happenings in your life. The greatest battle that you will ever face is the one inside of you. So get out of your own head and fight! Look, you can’t control and/or change what has happened to you in the past, but you can control the stories in your mind that you allow to be perpetuated into your future.

Your mind is your greatest weapon. While everything around may tell you to stop, you must find the will to carry on. The will to be great. The will to block the naysayers. The will to say you are worthy. The will to say you are beautiful. The will to say that it is possible. Find your fight and take back your life! Just like Rachel Platten stated in her hit single, “Fight Song” your fight may be “like a small boat on the ocean, sending big waves into motion. Like how a single word can make a heart open. [You] might only have one match, but [you] can make an explosion." Catch it!

Get out there and take back your life!

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to loving life. Do you love the life that you are living and living the life that you love? If not, why? What are you waiting on? Why aren’t you proud of yourself and who you’ve become? How long are you going to stand behind your pride and shame? When are you going to give yourself permission to be great? To be loved? To be wanted? To be authentically you?

Life is meant to be beautiful. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be perfect. In fact, it’s the very opposite of that. However, with patience and clarity, you begin to understand that in life everything is happening for your greater good. For example, being initially rejected from Howard University taught me that I have to fight for what I want and when I do, I can achieve anything I set my mind to. The death of my mother taught me that the greatest form of love is letting go and that I can handle any hardship that comes my way. Moving to LA with only $1000 in my pocket taught me that you have to jump for your dreams and take a chance on life.

I want you to love your life, the good and the bad. Understand how beautiful it is and how beautiful it makes you. Take heed to every roadblock that comes your way and jot down the lessons. Take your guard down and be present to all of what life has to offer you. Just like Natalie Taylor belts in her song, “Love Life,” give yourself permission to “love life…it’s beautiful, you’re beautiful.” Choose to love life and “feel alive every time. Just be free, there's a strength deep inside that lets you be just how beautiful you are.” There is beauty in everything; you just have to have the courage to see it.

Love. Live. Life.

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to vision. What is the vision you have for your life? Where do you see yourself? What do you want to accomplish? 

These are important questions that you must ask yourself. If you can’t see the life you want to live, how can you expect anyone else to?

Vision. You must have vision. Without vision, your dreams will perish. Vision gives you the ability to create. Create whatever type of life your heart desires. Whether it be marriage, weight loss, a successful career, traveling the world, etc, you have to be able to see it. If you can see it, you can achieve it. You have to see it even when no one else can.

So what do you say? Are you ready to live the life of your dreams? I challenge you to create a vision board with all of your heart’s desires. No matter how big or small, just create one. Take note from rapper Meek Mill, and realize “if you want it you gotta see it with a clear-eyed view!”

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to letting go. Leaving the excess baggage of failed relationships, depression, resentment and everything else that doesn’t aid in the betterment of you behind. As human beings, you know we have the tendency to allow things that have negatively affected us in the past, to negatively affect us in the future. How so? Well, I’m glad you asked! Think of a past relationship that went sour. Did you find it hard to trust and love the next person? I bet you did. However, I’m sure once you allowed the past to be the past you found love again. Or how about the last time you were depressed? It was probably difficult to remember what it felt like to smile, but as soon as you decided to let go and be happy again it came back to you like second nature.

The key to living an abundant life is to feel whatever you need to feel in that moment but then grow from that moment that experience. Holding onto excess “baggage” is like trying to walk forward while looking backwards. It slows you down, causes clutter, and blocks you from reaching your full potential. “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” So ‘bag lady/bag man’ take heed from Erykah Badu and remember, “all you must hold on to is you…so pack light.”

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to excuses. Excuses you’ve made day in and day out as to why you haven’t tapped into your true potential. As to why you’re not pursuing your dreams. As to why you’re not happy. It’s time to stop. Excuses are just masks that you’ve chosen to hide behind. When are you going to remove the mask and quit the charade? When does it stop? How about now?

Do right by yourself and be amazing. If it’s going to make you a better person, do it. If it’s a dream, pursue it. If it scares you, run through it. I want you to be great. You were destined to be that. Great. You were destined to be and acquire all that your heart desires.

Just like P!nk, I implore you to “Just Give Me A Reason” as to why you would “choose” to be average. Choose to place a period, where there’s supposed to be a comma. Your life isn’t over. Your dreams aren’t over. You aren’t over because you have right now. No matter the circumstances life throws at us we must always remember, “we’re not broken, just bent.” Now take a deep breath, push your shoulders back, stand tall and say, “no more excuses!”

Today’s dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to being bulletproof. Often times we are faced with situations that feel like “bullets” are being shot at us no matter where we turn. Our first instinct is to run, but I charge you to just stand. Yes, stand front and center.

In “Titanium” Sia belts, “you shoot me down, but I won’t fall…I am titanium!” Yes, you are titanium! You can withstand anything that comes your way. Face whatever situation in front of you without fear. Fearlessly stand in the mindset that all of those “bullets” will ricochet and fall at your feet. Walk with a clear mind that these situations will make you stronger, wiser and better than you have ever been before. The fact of the matter is, you will not crumble. You will survive…because you are metaphysically designed to do so!

Place your Forrest Gump running shoes on the shelf, because you have no more use of them! From here on out, you will not run from the “bullets” being targeted at you. You will stand with your arms open wide and your eyes focused on the “gunman.” Now don’t be surprised if that gunman staring back at you is…YOU!

Now say it with me…”I am bulletproof, nothing to lose…fire away, fire away!”
