21 days to change your life

THE 21 Day Theory was created by the doctor Maxwell Maltz, a plastic surgeon who gained fame in 1960. He observed that his patients only noticed the changes promoted by the surgeries after 21 days of the operation. During recovery, patients imagined the positive outcome and felt more and more excited. Maxwell recorded his studies in the book Psycho-cybernetics, considered one of the first self-help works in the world. To put theory into practice you need to repeat your wish for 21 consecutive days. With this technique of enthusiasm and motivation, it is possible to create new habits and achieve great changes.
