Okay, so the other day I kept seeing the number 864 everywhere. On the license plate in front of me, on a receipt, even on the microwave timer. It was weird, and I got this nagging feeling that it was, you know, more than just a coincidence. So, I did what anyone in the 21st century would do: I googled it.
Turns out, 864 is an “angel number.” I’m not usually one for this kind of stuff, but I was curious. I’d been feeling a little stuck lately, both creatively and financially, and the internet said 864 is all about manifesting abundance and finding practical solutions to problems. Intrigued, I decided to give it a shot. I mean, what did I have to lose?
My 864 Experiment
First, I decided to get really clear on what I wanted. I’d been dabbling in a few different side hustle ideas, but hadn’t committed to any of them. I spent a morning really thinking about what excited me the most, and what skills I could actually offer.
- I started by writing it all down.
- brainstorm all my ideas.
- all my skills.
Next, I took some actual, concrete action. Instead of just thinking about starting a freelance writing business, I actually started pitching potential clients. I updated my online profiles, polished up some old writing samples, and sent out a few (terrifying) emails. I also looked at my finances. I’d been avoiding it, honestly, but I sat down and made a budget, identified areas where I could cut back, and started tracking every penny.
The following days, I focused on staying positive and grateful. I’d read that this was important. Every time I saw 864 (and believe me, I was still seeing it!), I took it as a little reminder to keep my spirits up and focus on the good things I already had. I visualized my goals.
I also kept taking small, consistent steps. A few more pitches each day, a little bit of time spent learning new skills, a bit more tweaking of my budget.
And guess what? Stuff started to happen.
- small but significant ways.
- I landed a small writing gig.
- I found a way to save a little extra money each week.
- More importantly, I felt more in control.
I’m not saying that seeing 864 magically solved all my problems. But, it did act as a catalyst. It pushed me to take action, stay focused, and believe in myself. It reminded me that I have the power to create the life I want, and that sometimes, a little nudge from the universe (or a random number) is all you need to get started. I’m still on this journey, but I’m feeling a lot more optimistic than I was a few weeks ago. So, if you’re seeing 864 everywhere, maybe it’s a sign for you too!
