5 Secrets to Release Yourself from Mental Prison
As you know by now, I’m a former felon and drug addict-turned-transformation coach. This is the talk where we get real personal. I share my story and explain exactly how fitness saved my life and inspire you to use the same principles that I did to crawl your way out of the depths of despair. You will learn that no matter how low your life may seem, there is always a way out. But, it is going to take a lot of hard work and fortitude including changing your mindset, friends, attitude and daily habits. While you may not be physically in prison like I was, there are many of you that are stuck in a mental prison and I will show you step by step how to release yourself and create a life full of purpose, positivity and perspective that will leave you invigorated to know that there is meaning in your life as well as purpose in your pain.
“Doug has really made the most of his second chance. It’s almost like fitness saved his life and now he’s saving others through fitness. I think he’s come full circle. He’s always there to pick you up if you’re feeling frustrated and remind you how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go.”
