Okay, so today I wanted to dive into this whole “life path number” thing, specifically number 31. Honestly, I’d heard about it before but never really looked into it. Seemed like a bunch of mumbo jumbo, you know? But lately, I’ve been feeling a bit… lost, I guess? Like, I’m not sure if I’m on the right track in life. So, I figured, why not give this a shot? What’s the worst that could happen, right?
Figuring Out My Number
First things first, I had to figure out what my life path number even was. Turns out, it’s all about your birth date. You gotta add up all the digits until you get a single number, or one of the “master numbers” – 11, 22, or 33. My birthday is October 23, 1990, so that’s 1+0+2+3+1+9+9+0 = 25. Then, 2+5 = 7. So, my life path number is 7, not 31, but I decided to research both just to see if it resonates in any other area.
What Does 31 Mean?
Next up, I did some digging on what life path number 31 supposedly means. Apparently, people with this number are all about practicality and building a solid foundation. They’re supposed to be hardworking, disciplined, and good at managing things. There was a lot of talk about being organized, responsible, and having a strong sense of duty. It did resonate a little, especially the part about being responsible, I am quite a resposible person and also, I take duty seriously.
- Hardworking: I definitely identify with this. I’ve always been a bit of a workaholic, to be honest.
- Disciplined: I can be pretty disciplined when I put my mind to something. I like routine and structure in my life.
- Practical: Yeah, I’m not really one for wild, impulsive decisions. I like to think things through.
Then, I was reading some more, and it seems number 31 folks can sometimes be a bit stubborn and set in their ways. Okay, guilty as charged! I do tend to dig my heels in sometimes, especially when I think I’m right (which, let’s be honest, is most of the time, haha).
What about 7?
I am number 7 so I did research a bit more about this. Life path 7 is associated with introspection, analysis, and a search for deeper meaning. People with this life path are often seen as wise, intuitive, and spiritual. They may be drawn to solitary pursuits and enjoy spending time in contemplation. It said that number 7’s are truth-seekers, always asking “why” and striving to understand the world around them. This number is also linked to a strong inner voice and a desire for knowledge and understanding. I can not say that I am spiritual but I do like to seek deeper meaning in things.
Putting It to the Test
So, I decided to try a little experiment. For a week, I tried to be extra mindful of these supposed “31” traits and see if I could lean into them a little more. I made a to-do list every day (which I usually do, but I made an extra effort to stick to it). I also tried to be more aware of my natural tendencies – when I was being stubborn, when I was being practical, etc. I also added some of number 7’s traits, so I spent at least 30 minutes every day just thinking and reflecting. It was kind of interesting! I definitely felt a bit more focused and productive during the week, so I think I was more productive during that time than before. Not sure if it was the number 31 thing or just the act of being more intentional, but hey, it worked! Also, during my reflection time, I got to know myself better, and it helped me a lot with my work.
My Takeaway
Look, I’m still not entirely convinced about this whole life path number thing. But, I do think there’s something to be said for self-reflection and trying to understand yourself better. Whether or not you believe in numerology, taking some time to think about your strengths and weaknesses can be pretty helpful. As for me, I’m going to try to keep up with the to-do lists and the whole “being more mindful” thing. Who knows, maybe there’s something to this number 31 and 7 stuff after all. And hey, even if there isn’t, at least I’m getting a bit more organized in the process!
