Celine Park’s Practical Self Coaching Techniques

  • You can change your life right now

    You are the one who decides how to live. Happiness or unhappiness isn’t something given to you, it’s something you choose for yourself. No matter what has happened in the past, you can’t change it but you can grow stronger from those experiences. People can change at any time, in any place, the moment they decide to. I know this because I chose […]

  • Today I am grateful for:

    The many mistakes I’ve made, because they’ve helped me grow and build resilience. My social groups that make me feel alive and remind me I’m not alone. The endless resources available to keep learning and growing.

  • It’s My Mind, No One Can Control It

    I believe emotions are contagious. If someone near you is feeling down or stressed, it can affect your mood too. Last night, my partner was feeling down. I was tired and tried not to let it affect me, but as a human being, I couldn’t fully control my emotions. I ended up feeling low as […]

  • My Secret to Getting Up Early in the Morning

    My mum wakes up at 4:30 a.m. every day to attend her morning church service. That inspired me. Since 2019—when I started focusing on personal development (and when the pandemic began)—I decided to wake up around 5:00 a.m. too. Why? Because I noticed I’m more productive early in the morning. My brain works better, and […]

  • You Are What You Think

    I’d like to share an experience I had last night. It was a powerful reminder of how much our thoughts shape our feelings and behaviour. What Happened: Just before going to bed, a thought hit me:“I haven’t spoken to my parents for a few days. I should say hello.” So, I called them—but no answer. […]

  • What Happened When I Made a Decision in 2019

    In 2019, when the pandemic hit, my world—like many others’—slowed down. I stopped going to work, attending classes, going to the gym, and socialising. Life felt uncertain, but instead of turning to TV or movies all day (as some friends did), I made a different choice. I decided to focus on self-development. What I Committed […]

  • My Practical Tools for Overcoming Procrastination #2

    I’ve been using the first version of “My Practical Tools for Overcoming Procrastination” from my blog, and it has helped me a lot. Over time, I’ve discovered another key strategy that works for me—protecting my mood. Why Mood Matters I’ve learned that my emotional state plays a big role in whether I take action or […]

  • My Journey in Counselling Course #2 – Thought Diary

    Last week in my counselling course, I learned about a tool called the thought diary. I found it fascinating and tried it out myself—surprisingly, it worked really well. So, I’d like to share my experience with you. The purpose of the thought diary is to help people examine their thoughts and challenge the ones that […]

  • My Personal Grief Tools

    Last week, I experienced grief for the first time in my life. It was a difficult time, but I’d like to share some simple tools that helped me cope. First, I reminded myself of the positive aspects of the situation. I thought about how the person passed away peacefully and without pain. I also reflected […]
