In Psychology, the Rule of 21 states that it usually require a minimum of 21 days to effect any perceptible change in a mental image.
Following plastic surgery it takes about 21 days for an average patient to get used to his new face.
A person who had not worn a spectacle and is now required to put on a pair of spectacle, maybe due to shortsightedness, will require at least 21 days to get used to an object hanging on his face.
These and many other commonly observed phenomena tend to show that it requires a minimum of about 21 days for an old mental image to dissolve and a new one to jell.
During the 21 days do not continually looking over your shoulder or try to measure progress. Persists in that new role to build a new self image and experience improvement in life.
