Okay, so the other day I kept seeing the number 823 everywhere. Like, on the clock, on a license plate, even on a receipt – it was weird! I’m not usually one for this kind of thing, but it felt like more than just a coincidence. So, I decided to look into it.
First, I grabbed my phone and typed “823 angel number” into the search bar. I scrolled through a bunch of websites, and most of them seemed to agree that it’s about finding balance and trusting your intuition. Some talked about new opportunities and staying positive. Honestly, it felt a bit general at first.
But then I thought, “Okay, let’s actually try this.” I decided to use the number as a little reminder throughout my day. Whenever I saw 823, or even just thought about it, I would take a deep breath and ask myself a few questions:
- What am I feeling right now?
- Am I making decisions based on what I truly want, or am I being swayed by other things?
- Am I being too hard on myself? (This one came up a LOT.)
My Little Experiment
I started small. For example, I was working on a project and feeling totally stuck. Then I looked at the clock – 8:23 AM. I took that as my cue, paused, and realized I was being way too critical of my own work. I eased up on myself, took a break, and when I came back, I actually found a solution I liked!
Another time, I was debating whether to go to this networking event. I wasn’t feeling it, but I thought I “should” go. Then I saw the number again on a random street sign. I stopped and thought, “Wait, why am I forcing myself?” I decided to trust my gut and stay home. And guess what? I ended up having a really productive and relaxing evening instead.
It wasn’t always some big, life-changing moment. Sometimes it was just a reminder to drink some water, or to call my mom. But it felt like I was paying more attention to myself, you know?
By the end of the week, I felt like I had a better handle on things. I wasn’t magically stress-free, but I was definitely more aware of my thoughts and feelings. I was also making choices that felt more aligned with what I actually wanted, instead of what I thought I should be doing.
So, will I keep doing this 823 thing? Probably. It’s not some mystical cure-all, but it’s a simple way to check in with myself and make sure I’m on the right track. It’s like having a little nudge from the universe, reminding me to stay balanced and trust my own instincts. And who couldn’t use a little more of that?
