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

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the clairvoyant Matrona!
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the clairvoyant Matrona! After many months of suffering and tears, I turned to her for help. My husband left our family, our relationship was destroyed, and I had almost lost hope of getting it all back. Matrona immediately sensed my pain and accurately described the situation without knowing any details. After her ritual and recommendations, the air in our home became easier, the tension disappeared, and warm conversations began. A couple of weeks later, my husband contacted me himself, began visiting, and then returned home altogether. Now we have peace, mutual understanding, and love again. Matrona is a truly strong and kind woman who helps not only with words but also with deeds. She restored my faith in myself and our family. I recommend that anyone who finds themselves in a difficult situation don't lose hope, contact Matrona. She really helps! Her number is +380630228999, Viber/WhatsApp.
I asked Natalia to tell me about my situation with a man — we had just started dating, and he was acting strangely: sometimes closer, sometimes colder. She said that he had energy tails from his ex, and he had not let go of the past. She advised me not to get attached, not to waste time. I listened — and literally a week later everything was confirmed: he returned to his ex. It’s good that Natalia warned me — I saved my nerves and time. Very accurate and honest, without “hopefulness”. Contact: +1 (929) 740-4563

When I turned to Lilia, my soul was broken... My husband left, the relationship was destroyed, and I did not know how to live on. Lilia immediately felt my pain, told me everything without unnecessary words - as if she saw through my life. A few days later, amazing things began to happen: my husband wrote himself, then called, and a week later we were already sitting together in the kitchen and talking heart to heart. Now we are together again, as if everything is starting from scratch. Thank you, Lilia, for the hope and for the love that you helped bring back!
