Calm complexity is key
Your mind can be super intellectual and flexible (your body too!) - incorporating many ideas into complex concepts, theories or creations, and structure & clarity are your best friends.
It can be hard being a Sensor these day - It’s not your fault you’re skinny - it’s just the way you’re made, and when other people can’t be like you, then that is their problem!
Each day you have the opportunity to move mountains with your mind and productivity (probably not with your slender muscles though!). When you have a structured routine like the one below that capitalizes on your natural chronobiological rhythms you can be unstoppable.
Do you ever feel like you’re underperforming or perhaps you’re just missing something in everyday life? The good news is that finding complete satisfaction is easy when you know what’s right for you.

Plan ahead to stay feeling your best
It's imporant to get the right nutrition but your digestive system can be extremely sensitive. So how do you make sure what you eat supports your body instead of hindering it?
Get personalized. For starters, as a Sensor:
- It is important to make sure you get enough fats in your diet. Omegas and healthy lipids from animal fat, butter, nuts, seeds, oils, and fatty fish will help lubricate your digestive and nervous systems, keep your skin and tissues hydrated, and provide energy & protection for body & mind.
- You tend to have a difficult time breaking down protein. Well-cooked meat is easier to assimilate - broths, stews and slow-cooked meats are best. This naturally lower protein absorption means you also often benefit from enzymes to assist with the digestion of protein.
- Your brain is highly susceptible to toxins like alcohol, coffee, drugs, and sugars. Exposure to these can result in a sluggish mind, depleted energy, and mood swings, and exacerbate neurological diseases. You may even feel depressed due to how your food and drug choices affect your brain.y
Getting good nutrition doesn't have to be time-consuming and difficult. Use an app like Shae to make sure you always have what you need to know at hand.
