Okay, so yesterday I was scrolling through my phone, just killing time, and I kept seeing the number 721 everywhere. Like, on license plates, the time, even the price of my coffee! It was kinda freaky, so I decided to look it up.
Turns out, it’s an angel number! I’m not usually one for all that stuff, but I was curious. The internet said 721 is about trusting your intuition and taking positive steps towards your goals. Seemed like a decent message, so I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
My Plan of Action:
- Journaling: I decided to start writing down my thoughts and feelings every morning, focusing on what I really wanted to achieve.
- Small Steps: Instead of trying to overhaul my whole life, I picked one thing I’d been putting off – learning to code – and committed to doing just 30 minutes a day.
- Trust the Gut: This was the hardest. I’m a chronic over-thinker. I promised myself to make quicker decisions based on my initial feelings instead of agonizing over every little detail.
Day 1: The Journaling Struggle
Okay, so the journaling was rough. I stared at a blank page for like, 20 minutes. I ended up just writing about seeing the number 721 again and how I felt ridiculous trying this whole “angel number” thing. But then I started thinking about what I really wanted. It came down to feeling more fulfilled at work and having more creative outlets.
Then, I actually opened that coding tutorial I’d been avoiding. It was painful. I felt completely lost, but I stuck with it for 30 minutes. Progress, I guess!
Day 2: Impulsive Lunch!
Today at work, my coworkers wanted to go to the usual boring lunch spot. My gut was screaming “NO!” I’d been wanting to try that new ramen place down the street for weeks. Usually, I’d just go along with the group, but I decided to trust my instinct. I said, “Actually, I’m gonna try that ramen place, anyone wanna join?” Two of them came with me! The ramen was amazing, and I actually had a really good conversation with my coworkers. Small win!
Coded for another 30 minutes tonight. Still don’t understand much, but I’m starting to recognize some of the terms.
Day 3: Saying “No” (Finally!)
My boss asked me to take on an extra project today. Normally, I’d say yes, even though I’m already swamped. But I took a deep breath and said, “I appreciate you thinking of me, but I’m really at capacity right now.” It felt SO GOOD! I was worried he’d be mad, but he just said, “Okay, thanks for being honest.” I even had time to actually focus on my existing tasks and felt way less stressed.
Coding felt a little easier tonight. I even managed to debug a tiny little error! I felt like a genius (for about 5 seconds).
Day 4: Doubts Creeping In
Today was tough. I felt like nothing was working. I got stuck on a coding problem for almost an hour and felt completely defeated. I almost skipped my journaling, but I forced myself to write down my frustrations. It helped a little. I realized I was expecting too much, too soon. This whole “trust your intuition” thing isn’t magic, it’s just about being more mindful and intentional.
I took a break from the tutorial tonight and just messed around with some basic HTML. It was actually kind of fun.
Day 5: A Little Momentum
Things started to click today! I finally understood a concept in the coding tutorial that had been confusing me. I felt a real sense of accomplishment. At work, I had a really productive meeting where I was able to contribute some helpful ideas. I think trusting my gut earlier in the week helped me feel more confident. I’m not saying everything is perfect, but I definitely feel like I’m moving in the right direction.
I even saw the number 721 again today, on the gas pump. Maybe those angels are onto something!
Final Thoughts:
Look, I don’t know if angel numbers are real, or if it was just a coincidence that I started paying attention to my life when I saw 721. But I do know that these past few days have been surprisingly positive. Journaling helped me clarify my goals, taking small steps made those goals less daunting, and trusting my intuition (most of the time!) helped me make better decisions.
I’m gonna keep at it and see where it leads. Maybe those angels are just giving me a little nudge in the right direction.
