When you look to the future, what do you see? Is it optimism, possibility? Or is it stress, worry?

“This is great because regardless of how optimistic you are or pessimistic you are, even the pessimistic naysayer, doomsayers can get the full benefit of this if they improve their future view,” says Andy Core, author of Change Your Day, Not Your Life.

You can improve your future view in just three steps. Watch to find out what to do.
