Hey there incredible human! Welcome to One Infinite Life.
My name is Chloe and I'm an award-winning Certified Life Coach and writer with a background in psychology.
My mission (the quick version) to to help you get the most out of your one infinite life.
I hope you find something here that makes your day (or life) better than it was before!
I acknowledge the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nations where One Infinite Life is operated from. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and also to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in my community and wider network.
For me being stuck is… Stagnant. Going around in circles again and again. Agitating. Coming up against resistance. Hopeless. Giving into procrastination. Unmotivating. Cemented in doubt. Blocked. Trapped by uncertainty.
To put it simply: feeling stuck sucks!
I’ve felt stuck about big life stuff like… What to actually do with my life. Working a job (as a means to an end) that I felt stuck in. And what to do… next.
And I also dabble with feeling stuck on a super frequent basis with small things like… Trying to get work done. Whether to choose this or that. And even this morning I felt stuck about what to have for breakfast this morning (seriously!)
So in this post I’m sharing:
∞ How I approach things when I’m feeling stuck.
∞ How to get unstuck, including 15 specific ways, with heaps of practical suggestions and examples.
∞ Insights from others on how they approach getting unstuck.
∞ 3 things you can do to start moving forward.
∞ Some FREE and super useful worksheets with 18 questions to help you get unstuck and start moving forward.
So let’s get into it…
It’s time for this month’s Link Fest!
I’ve rounded up the best things I came across on the Internet during the month, including articles about the secret to happiness, abundant sacrifices, dealing with disappointment, why spontaneity makes life better, how to make your mornings brighter, and why your spiritual practice won’t stop bad things from happening to you, and more.
Plus I’ve also done a mini taking stock of what’s been going on in my life.
Enjoy!

Did you know that this is one of my favourite segments to write here on my blog?
There’s something powerful and amplifying about publicly declaring the things you’re grateful for.
There’s been so much stuff that’s been lighting up my life lately — from being mentored, to awesome books, movies and music — and I’d love to share my gratitude for these things with you today.
To celebrate the launch of my free email series: The 28 Day Gratitude Project I’ve asked some inspiring humans to answer the question…
How has gratitude changed your life?
You can check out Part 1 with Fran, Claire, Victoria and Tara here.
And in Part 2 of this interview series Meg O’Sullivan, Tracey Spencer, Karla Layton and Fontaine will be sharing how gratitude has changed their lives.
This week I launched my FREE email series: The 28 Day Gratitude Project and to celebrate the launch I’ve asked a few inspiring humans this question…
How has gratitude changed your life?
In Part 1 of this interview series Fran Maspero, Claire Baker, Victoria Bauman and Tara Caetano will be sharing with us how gratitude has changed their lives.
In Part 1 of this mini social media series, we explored 6 questions to ask yourself if you are overwhelmed by social media. If you haven’t done so already I recommend reading Part 1 first, then coming back to this post.
In Part 2, I’m going to share all the things I do to help me use social media consciously.
But first, if you’re feeling super overwhelmed by social media, I highly recommend taking a break (even a short one) to instantly eliminate the overwhelm.
I’m all for taking hiatuses from social media, but for me I’m more interested in how I can use social media in my life consciously, without abandoning it all together and without it taking over my life.
So here are 14 of my best tips to help you use social media consciously. These tips have helped me create boundaries for my social media use, so I can use it on my terms — with ease — and without overwhelm.
Social media… You might love it. Hate it. Or maybe both.
Recently there’s been a lot of conversation going on opposing social media.
People are sharing why they don’t use social media, anti-social media videos are going viral (like this one), people are revealing that they’re addicted to social media, and they’re also experimenting with taking breaks from social media.
And all of this is bringing to light the negative impacts social media may be having on our real lives…
We waste so much time, are not present or fully enjoying the moment because it needs to be Instagrammed first, we put virtual communication before real life connection, and if you go anywhere majority of people around you will be more preoccupied with their phones than their current reality and people right in front of them.
These negative impacts of social media has been a really common topic of conversation in my life lately, with friends, family and clients, and it has raised a really important question: How can we consciously use social media without letting it take over our lives?
I recently spent a week at Magnetic Island for a family holiday and had an amazing time.
I spent a lot of time walking, swimming, reading and just relaxing.
And I was grateful to be reminded of these things…
At the end of every month I usually round-up all the awesome things that I read during the month and share them in a Link Fest.
This month — between putting my own creativity first (I’m currently working on an awesome free gratitude e-course for you) and going on holiday to Magnetic Island — I haven’t really been spending much time reading on the Internet.
However, recently I have read a few things that really struck a cord with me, and I would love to share them with you today.
So here are 5 of the best things I came across on the Internet this month (in no particular order — because they are ALL awesome!) And I’ve included a little reflection and elaboration from me as well.
Happy Reading!
As you are reading this I will be on holiday at Magnetic Island, and there is about a 99% chance that I’m reading (probably on the beach). If you want to follow along on the adventure you can do that over on Instagram.
Anyway, while I’m away I thought I would share with you some of the awesome books I’ve read recently and really enjoyed…
