Single in Your 30's

I'm just living the shit out of the hand I got dealt! 

Single in your 30's, trust the universe, Jaime Messina, Shape your life, Beachbody Coach, Beachbody lgbt, LGBT,

In your thirties, often times you can feel pressured, or made to feel as if something is wrong with you if you are not settled with a family. I have seen that lead to people forcing relationships and lessening their standards because they cave to the pressure of what is expected by society. I too have felt this immense pressure. For years I would constantly get down on myself for, "not being where I thought I would be by now", but that has recently changed. While focusing on my career as a coach I have had time to grow mentally and spiritually. My job allows me to travel often which I am able to do as a single adult in their 30's.


Others my age will often say to me, "Jaime, I love watching your journey. You're always traveling and doing cool things. I wish I could do that but it's really hard with a family." First, I want to make one thing clear. I want more than anything in the world to have a family of my own, but that's just not what life has planned for me at this current moment. I would love to have to pass on a Friday night out to watch a movie with my kids or whatever it may be. I have always wanted that family life. 


BUT, the fact of the matter is, that is just not what life has planned for me in this current moment. SO, instead of sitting around complaining, worrying, and thinking about all that isn't happening for me right now, I decided to make the best of what I have. (Please note** I'm not saying I never worry about it, just not letting it rule my life). I travel the world every chance I get, put lots of focus and energy into my coaching career, and grow in every way I possibly can each and every day. 


I constantly take risks, and always put trust in the universe. I'm telling you this because often it seems like the grass is greener on the other side, but we all have something going on.


We can't fight what the universe has in store. We have to surrender and accept it. So for now, live the amazing life that has been laid before you and trust that the universe has a plan for you. An amazing handcrafted plan made specifically for YOU! Open your eyes to what is already in front of you. What you're looking for might already be there.

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
