Okay, so I’ve been seeing the number 1231 everywhere lately. On clocks, license plates, receipts… you name it. It felt like more than just a coincidence, so I started to get curious. I’d heard about “angel numbers” before, so I decided to dig in.
My 1231 Experiment Begins
First, I jotted down every time I saw 1231. I just used a simple note on my phone. It was pretty basic: date, time, and where I saw the number. I figured the more data I had, the better. For example:
- 2024/4/25 12:31 PM: on Microwave’s timer.
- 2024/4/26 8:17 AM: receipt’s total price(but I still saw 1231,LOL).
- 2024/4/26 10:03 PM: A random tiktok video’s views.
I did a little Googling and read about 1231 meaning. I kept my mind open, trying to figure out how to use this.

Then came the “action” part. After I had been doing this for nearly one week, I tried to be more mindful throughout my day. I paid attention to my thoughts and feelings whenever I saw 1231. Was I stressed? Excited? Anxious? This was a bit trickier, since it’s not as concrete as writing down numbers.
And I tried to find out some regular patterns of my * example, I found that I saw this number most when I was confused about my work.I mean, I have been struggling on which project to focus on next.
So I connected the “guidance” with my real-life struggle. And I set myself a goal. I decided to finally choose one project next week and just dive in, no more wavering. And guess what? I saw 1231 AGAIN right after I made that decision!
I kept up my little experiment for a few weeks. The main thing I noticed was that I became more aware of my choices. I stopped feeling so stuck. It might sound a bit woo-woo, but it felt like I was actually making progress, that I was “stepping up”.
Even if you’re not into angel numbers, I think there’s something to be said for paying attention to patterns and using them as a springboard for * helped me. So why not give it a shot? You might be surprised at what you discover about yourself!
