Focusing on any type of negative thought pattern doesn't serve you and it spends all of your energy. On the other hand, you don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings.- Chris DiVecchio

On Wellness Force Radio episode 266, Trainer, Founder of Premier Mind & Body, and Creator of both The 5x2 Method and Emergency7, Chris DiVecchio, discusses the impact of how his parents raised him affected future relationships, how he sets his trajectory for the day with the 5x2 Method, how you can take adult inventory to let go of old weight, and the skill set he developed to not dwell on negative thoughts for too long as an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).
Listen and discover why the 1 hour that you spend in the gym is much less impactful than the 23 hours that you dedicate to lifestyle, stress management, nutrition, supplementation, time management, and recovery.

Did you know you
use at least one of your five senses every moment of the day, even
when you are asleep? Each sense has its own special power, but it
is when they are used in combination that we create those
unforgettable experiences.
We all have a set of daily habits that tend to dull our senses and encourage us to lead a pretty basic life of existence. We often find ourselves in the vicious cycle of wake up, repeat and go to sleep. Chirs DiVecchio developed the 5x2 method to help wake those senses back up and create a whole new way of thinking, acting, being and doing so that you can start living the life of happiness you deserve!
As we know, the five senses are controlled by five organs:
- Touch - Touch has a memory
- Sound - Music to your ears
- Taste - Taste the rainbow
- Sight - The windows to the soul
- Smell - Stop and smell the roses
In this book, Chris breaks each sense down in detail to help you understand a bit more how they can be used to shift you into a more positive state of being.
"Having control over how I look, feel, and take care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually costs me nothing. I don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings." - Chris DiVecchio

Power Quotes From The Show
"If you feel good emotionally, then 9 times out of 10, your body is going to match that." - Chris DiVecchio
"The growing fitness trend of using performance-enhancing supplements has its place but the healing process is really what people are focusing on now. Our main concern today is caring about how we feel rather than how we look. That's where the world of fitness and wellness is going. We're now realizing that if you feel good, then 9/10 times your body is going to match that vibration." - Chris DiVecchio
"I had to put in an insane amount of trust that I was doing the right thing and I was in the right space. For me to freak out, panic, or to buy into any type of negative thought pattern I have right now, it's just not going to serve me. If I have control over how I look, feel, and take care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, then I have to do that at least. That costs me nothing; I don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings." - Chris DiVecchio
"Taking inventory is important in order to look back and reflect on your lifestyle situations, habits, or traumas. Being able to learn from past experiences and dissect some of the emotional turmoil that you've been through without allowing yourself to get stuck in it is a skill. A lot of people don't get as deep in their past to clear house is because they're afraid of what they might see along that journey." - Chris DiVecchio
"Forget about discipline; discipline doesn't mean anything. What we actually need to do right now is care. The people who are at the top of their game in optimal health and wellness are those who care enough about themselves and care enough about their bodies to focus on what contributes to a healthy looking vessel." - Chris DiVecchio
