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 I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
My wife, who is twenty years younger than me, left the family with our daughter, succumbing to pressure from her mother. This was my second marriage, and unfortunately, my mother-in-law was categorically opposed to our relationship from the start. The situation seemed hopeless. Just when I had lost all hope, I turned to the magician Alexander. I sent him a WhatsApp message at +380971792179 and arranged for a diagnosis. Alexander didn't ask any questions and asked me not to reveal anything. I was so impressed when he told me everything, right down to names and other details no one else could know! I literally begged him to help me. Alexander agreed to carry out the necessary work. And the results were immediate. Less than a month later, my wife returned to me. I remember how she walked into the house, put down her bag, and our daughter ran to me as fast as she could and hugged me tightly. And at that moment, I knew I had won. And then came another surprise. My mother-in-law, who constantly turned my wife against me, suddenly reversed her behavior and gave us an apartment, which we now rent out. She said we deserved happiness and wanted to make amends, and the extra rent wouldn't hurt. I'm still in shock and can't wrap my head around it. Alexander truly works miracles! That's why I recommend everyone contact him if they need help.

I express my deep gratitude to the magician Alexander for his professionalism and effective assistance. His number is +380971792179. When I contacted him, I was living in Germany and couldn't come to an in-person meeting. I messaged him on WhatsApp. Alexander understood my situation – he consulted with me and performed the work remotely. This was no problem for him. He is a compassionate and kind person. A true clairvoyant and a powerful practitioner with a gift from a Higher Power. Even talking to him makes you feel better. The work he does is very effective. I literally felt it even from a distance. But most importantly, his abilities helped me solve a number of problems and bring my husband back. I recommend the magician Alexander to anyone seeking qualified and effective help.
