The Chopsiemates

Underpinned with ‘Neuro Linguistic programming’ and a sprinkling of ‘Laws of attraction’, The Chopsiemates is a book that aims to share inspiring ideas in happiness with children and the inner child in all of us. A family of characters (The Chopsiemates) from interesting places around the world each have a unique ‘recipe’ to share to help cultivate an exceptional psychology (because if you have an exceptional psychology, you can lead an exceptional life). An exceptional life is considered to be a life that maximizes feelings of happiness, joy, balance and peace through all of the ups and downs life can throw at you. Spider Momma spins the world wide web of love for her little Chopsiemate children and shares a recipe in how to practice gratitude. When you practice gratitude, it can change your mental state in an instant and sets you up to be emotionally connected to all the good things in your life. Wolfgang is from Bavaria in Germany and he loves the outdoors. He shares a recipe in how to make scary things small. This is a very old and powerful re-framing technique which is particularly useful for everything from bad dreams to people who don’t make you feel so good. The cheeky monkeys from sunny Mallorca in Spain make us aware of our internal chatter and the importance of only listening to it if its helpful. Catrine from Paris is of course very French… stylish and independent she knows her own mind and shows us how to listen to our gut feeling and trust it. Montgomery is a much loved seagull from Raumati Beach in New Zealand. He is funny and it makes you feel good just being around him. Anytime you need to rest your busy mind, he will take you up into the big blue sky and help you find peace amongst the big white fluffy clouds. The Chopsiemates recipes are designed to be integrated into our everyday lives in the hope that we can practically deal with any situation using the wonderful inner resources we have and never loosing the magical gift of laughter.
