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 hesitated for a long time to write this review... Every time I recall what was happening in our family before meeting Varya, the molfarka, my heart aches with pain. My husband and I were together for almost 12 years, and our love once seemed unbreakable. But over the years, everything began to crumble—fights, misunderstandings, coldness. He began to distance himself, and silence and resentment reigned in the house. I felt love fading, as if someone was sucking the life out of us. Out of desperation, I turned to Varya; a friend who had miraculously brought her husband back after he cheated on me told me about her. I didn't really believe it, but a last spark of hope burned within me. Varya listened to me with such attention, as if she understood the pain in my heart. She said, "Your family has a light; it just needs to be rekindled." After her work, strange but bright changes began. My husband suddenly asked to talk. We sat in the kitchen until morning, crying, remembering how we once vowed to be together no matter what. It was as if someone had lifted a heavy blanket from us. Laughter echoed in the house again, and that warm look I hadn't seen in years appeared in my husband's eyes. I don't know how Varya does it—with prayers, herbs, or some ancient power—but I know one thing for sure: she brought love back to our home. She brought back what I thought was lost forever. Varya isn't just a molfarka. She's a savior of broken hearts. Thank her for giving our family a second chance. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
After the betrayal, I couldn't eat or sleep. My heart was in ruins. I felt like nothing and no one could help. But Lilia saw right through it. She didn't judge or pressure me, but guided me. She supported me when things were at their worst. She helped me cope with the hurt and pain and taught me to see things more broadly. With her help, I regained my feminine strength and inner core. My husband came back. He'd changed. We were able to forgive and love again. Thank you, Lilia, for your work, your light, and your strength. You are a gift from above. I'm writing to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
