You know that feeling when it seems like everything in the world is against you. No matter what you do, things just keep going wrong. Your alarm clock doesn't go off so you're late for work, your boss yells at you for being late, and then your coffee mug shatters when you accidentally knock it off your desk. It feels like you can't catch a break. But what if the real problem isn't the string of bad luck you're experiencing, but rather the way you're thinking about it?

In this week’s episode, Mental Toughness Coach, Chris Dorris, is here to show us there’s a different way to think.

Chris started out as a social worker in Atlantic City helping the mentally ill, drug addicted, and homeless populations upgrade their lives. This eventually led him to his true vocation- helping people close the gap between how their lives are and how they want them to be.

And he clearly knows his stuff. Chris has trained the minds of world-famous actors, NFL and NHL Coaches, business executives, Super Bowl Champions and billionaires using his Mental Toughness tools to help them achieve success.

You see, Chris understands that our thoughts have a lot of power. And if we're constantly telling ourselves that things are going to go wrong, guess what? They probably will.

Feeling stuck in a rut and like nothing is going your way? This is an episode you won’t want to miss.
