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 don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.
To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp

Varya is a bright person. She didn't just bring her husband back; she helped bring his family back. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram).
Honestly, I didn't used to believe in molfars or any rituals. I always thought they were nonsense, self-hypnosis, and all that. But when my husband left the family, leaving me with a child and a bunch of questions about why, I was ready to grasp at any straw. We'd been together for eight years, and then suddenly there was coldness, alienation, another woman... I was simply beside myself. A friend recommended that I contact the molfarka Varya. She said she doesn't perform black magic, but works through the energy of the family line and cleanses relationships. I wrote to her with distrust, even a little shame. But Varya immediately spoke kindly, explaining that everything can be fixed if there are feelings, it's just that everything is confused right now. She performed a ritual to restore the connection, gave me advice on how to behave, what words to say, what not to do. And most importantly, she calmed me down. Within a few days, I felt as if a burden had been lifted from my soul. A couple of weeks later, my husband wrote to me himself. Then he came. We talked calmly, without tears or shouting. Now we live together, and I see that he's my warm, caring self again, as if all the bad has disappeared. I don't know how it works, but after Varya, there's peace in the house again, the child is happy, and every day I thank fate that I decided to write to her. Varya is a bright person. She didn't just bring my husband back, she helped bring our family back. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I didn't believe anyone could help when my family was falling apart. My husband had grown cold, distant, and I was already preparing divorce papers. But on a friend's advice, I turned to the clairvoyant Lila. I'll be honest: at first, I was skeptical. But Lila didn't promise miracles; she simply said, "If you want to fight, I'll help." Thanks to her advice, cleansings, and energetic support, the situation began to change. My husband began to care again, and we started talking for real. Now we're together, and I'm grateful to Lila for helping us stay together. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
