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

White magic, prayers, fortune telling - Olga Nikolaevna helped
My story may seem typical to some, but I still believe that Olga Nikolaevna changed my fate. I came to her when I was deeply depressed after losing a loved one. The pain would not go away, my dreams were disturbing, my health was constantly failing. Psychologists did not help - everything felt like some kind of shadow on me. I found out about Olga Nikolaevna through a friend who had already contacted her. I called her on Viber: +380687014758. The session was remote, but very powerful. She said that I not only had an energy leak, but also a trace of a strong evil eye that had been going on since the funeral. She cleansed me, explained how to close the pain channels, what prayers to read. She did everything with great respect, without fear, without pressure. Three days after the ceremony, I felt light - for the first time in months. And then I started to come back to life: I had more strength, they removed my diagnosis based on hormones, and I started working again. Now I always know who to turn to. Olga Nikolaevna is not just a clairvoyant, she is a very bright person. Viber: +380687014758.
Feedback on fortune telling - everything came true down to the last detail
I had a Tarot reading done by this clairvoyant. I was shocked - she described my life and inner experiences so accurately. She predicted events for the coming months, and some of them have already come true. She was especially helpful in matters of relationships, now I understand where to go and with whom I should continue communicating, and with whom I shouldn't. A very competent and sensitive woman, you can feel that she works with her soul. Contact number: +1 (646) 377-9379. I recommend her with all my heart!
If someone had told me earlier that I'd turn to a clairvoyant, I would have laughed. But when my husband became cold, started working late, stopped talking to me, I felt like I was losing him. Lilya saw everything! She said there was negativity on him, that our family had been cursed. She cleansed him, gave him a talisman, and performed a ritual. Three days later (!) he himself said he wanted to mend things between us. It was as if a weight had been lifted from our souls. We bow deeply to you, Lilya!
