This motivated me to do some research on which masters were available to study this topic and where. As I was doing more research every day, anxious thoughts started to creep in. I felt stuck. Being in a <strong>transitioning<\/strong> phase which involved making a decision felt overwhelming to say the least. Later I realised that most master applications had closed for the upcoming academic year. At this point, all I was left with was utter discouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then one day I came across a website that introduced me to <strong>coaching<\/strong>. I had already heard of <strong>coaching<\/strong> before, but thought it had little, if nothing, to do with positive psychology. The idea of <strong>coaching<\/strong> to me was someone giving advice and motivation to those who needed it the most. Little did I know that <strong>coaching<\/strong> was so much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I kept looking at what <strong>coaching<\/strong> was and how I could become a certified <strong>coach<\/strong>. I realised that my <strong>purpose<\/strong>, which was to help others feel better and empowered, could be well achieved by practicing this profession. This finally led me to look for <strong>coaching<\/strong> schools that offered training online. I was happy to learn that anyone, from any background, could enroll in <strong>coaching<\/strong> at any time. So this is what I did.<br>I am forever grateful for this opportunity and for the universe showing me a way forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elenasdiscoverycoaching.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3821-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color has-custom-color-6-border-color wp-image-712\" style=\"border-width:4px;width:494px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elenasdiscoverycoaching.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3821-1.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.elenasdiscoverycoaching.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3821-1-263x300.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More about my story &#8211; how I got here As I was approaching my final year of undergraduate studies in psychology, I realised I had a growing interest in positive psychology.
