Your light can ignite or incite | #45 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn 🌞

When you shine brightly, not everyone knows what to do with it. In Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn #45, Dawn Super explores why your presence can inspire growth in some people while triggering discomfort in others. This post helps sensitive, expressive, and “too much” individuals understand other people’s reactions without dimming their own light. You’ll learn how to separate your energy from others’ responses, when to shine outward versus inward, and how to stay grounded, kind, and self-protective—no matter how others show up.

Your light can ignite or incite – Daily Dose of Dawn #45

This one’s for the “too much” tribe... when you shine brightly – you’re gonna blind some people.

If you’re like me, you had to teach yourself how to be Ok with that. If you’re still learning – this dose is going to help you process the way other people react to you, so that you never feel you have to dim your light. For anyone, or any situation.

You may have heard it said that sensitive people like us act as a mirror to others, reflecting back to them the things they need to work on.

Sometimes people are ready to work on those things and you ignite something inside of them that helps them on their path to doing so.

Sometimes they’re not ready, so they get incited with themselves and don’t know what to do with that other than take it out on you.

Have you had that happen to you? Where the way someone behaves in your presence seems… weird – like your existence offends them?

If we go by the notion that each person that we meet is here to teach us something, we can focus on the lesson instead of their reaction. Maybe the lesson is just – can you shine your light anyway… even through this? And, how do you do that without making things worse?

When people are incited by our light - that’s the moment we choose how to show up. We don’t want to be tap dance Sally – because that’s not helpful for anyone. So, put up your armor of silk – by shining your light inward – keep it all for you. Fill yourself with love, smile to yourself, grateful for the peace - and leave them space to be them.

We hold onto our power – act like we want the people in our world to act. We make it a party in our mind, no matter the situation and in that we feel the freedom to shine anyway.

About the Author

Dawn Super is an empowerment coach, speaker, and writer who helps people thrive — not someday, but right now, exactly as they are. She knows firsthand what it’s like to live with lifelong health challenges, including narcolepsy, and has made it her mission to teach others how to show up for themselves with compassion, courage, and a little bit of humor and sass.
Known for her “mindset magic strategies,” Dawn brings a blend of practical tools, soulful insight, and real-talk encouragement to anyone ready to stop waiting for permission to love themselves. Her work speaks especially to those who’ve felt left out, misunderstood, or stuck on the sidelines — the misfits, the dreamers, the rebels, and the overcomers.
When she’s not coaching, creating, or writing, you might find her meditating at the beach, virtually socializing, or laughing (probably at one of her own jokes). Dawn believes that self-love isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a radical act of rebellion in a world that profits from your doubt.
