Imitation of the immediate environment, What is it?
One day, not so long ago, I had a conversation with a lady I had known for a long time, a college professor in New York. I argued that all children try to copy their parents, adults and their peers in their behavior if their behavior aroused their interest and desire to do the same or be the same. So, the proximity effect has a powerful influence on behavior. We adopt habits from the people around us. We copy the way our parents argue, how peers flirt with each other, how colleagues achieve results. If our friends smoke cigarettes or even marijuana, we will try it too. One of the most powerful things we can do to form better habits is to become part of an environment in which our desired behavior is normal. It's important to surround yourself with people who have the habits you'd like to develop. Nothing keeps you motivated like belonging to a community. This turns a personal search into a collaborative one. The shared identity begins to reinforce the personal identity. This is why staying part of the group after achieving a goal is critical to maintaining habits. The role of family and friends in forming habits is great. Whenever we are unsure how to act, we look to the group to guide our behavior. This is usually a smart strategy. But the other side is also possible. The normal behavior of society often overrides the desired behavior of the individual. There is enormous internal pressure to conform to group norms. Most of the time, we would rather be wrong in a crowd than be right alone. When changing habits involves challenging society, change is unattractive. When changing habits involves adapting to society, change is very attractive. Imitating authority is another important component in our lives. People everywhere strive for power, prestige and status. We are attracted to behavior that will earn respect, approval, admiration, and status. Once we adapt, we begin to look for ways to stand out. This is one of the reasons why we care so much about the habits of highly effective people. We try to copy the behavior of successful people because we also want to succeed. Many of our daily habits are imitations of people we admire. • Cook according to your favorite chef's recipe. • Borrowing behavior favorite artist. • We imitate communication style boss • We often imitate people whom we envy. People with high status enjoy the approval, respect, and praise of others. And this means that if a behavior can bring us approval, respect and praise, we find it attractive. We also tend to avoid behavior that would lower our status. We tidy up the hedges and mow the lawn because we don’t want to be a messy neighbor. We constantly wonder what others will think of me and change our behavior depending on the answer. I want to emphasize that the main thing is that the environment in which we live determines what behavior will be attractive to us. If a behavior can bring approval, respect and praise, we find it attractive and follow it. Here are a few of my thoughts, which I hope will convince my friend of the correctness of my settings. I will listen with great interest to comments from people who have their own opinions on this issue. Gennady Kupisok, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences

When my husband left, I didn't know how to tell my children. My eldest son started to withdraw, and my youngest daughter cried constantly. I wasn't eating, sleeping, or living. I turned to Lilya on a colleague's recommendation. She worked with photographs, performed powerful rituals and cleansings, and most importantly, she provided emotional support. My husband returned three weeks later and said he felt like he'd woken up. Now we're a family, together, like before. I thank God every day for finding Lilya. I RECOMMEND LILYA TO EVERYONE!!!

Lilia is an amazing person with powerful energy. She's not just a clairvoyant, she's like a family member who feels your heart. After her help, I became calmer, stopped crying, and soon our relationship began to improve. My husband came back, and now we live in peace and harmony. It's a miracle, and all thanks to Lilia!

A center where people rejoice, laugh, dance, and forget about illnesses
A center where people rejoice, laugh, dance, and forget about illnesses It was truly a pleasure to spend time with the visitors and staff of the Bainbridge Center at the wonderful three-year celebration of the Health Day Care program located at 3093 Ocean Ave, 2nd floor, which houses both the medical program and the home care agency.

Ladies, this might be helpful to someone. I debated for a long time whether to write or not, but I finally decided to share. I contacted her because of love—my boyfriend had left me, and I was desperate. She looked into the situation and said there was still room for improvement. She worked on restoring our relationship and removing negativity. After a while, we started communicating normally again. She also helped me with my health—after her work, I really felt better.

I initially consulted her about finances—I was constantly losing money, in debt, and facing setbacks. She said my money channel was blocked and helped me "open" it. A week later, I received the first good news. Then more. Now I feel as if a bad streak has given way to a good one. I consult with her regularly now—not just about money, but about my life in general. She's a very strong person. Contact number: +1 (646) 377-9379.
