Okay, so I kept seeing the number 851 everywhere. On license plates, receipts, clocks… it was getting a little freaky. I’m not usually one for this kind of thing, but it felt like the universe was trying to tell me something, so I decided to, you know, lean in.

My 851 Experiment
First, I Googled it. “Angel number 851” – that’s what all the websites called it. Apparently, it’s about positive changes, financial flow, and trusting your intuition. Okay, cool, I can get behind that.
So, I decided to treat this as a little experiment. I committed to noticing 851 whenever it popped up and using it as a little nudge. Like, a mini-cosmic reminder to:
- Stay positive: Even when work was a drag or I was feeling down, I’d try to flip my mindset if I saw 851.
- Take action: If I’d been procrastinating on something, seeing 851 was my cue to just do it. Small steps, big steps, whatever. Just move forward.
- Trust my gut: This was the hardest one. But if I had a decision to make and saw 851, I’d try to listen to that inner voice a little more closely.
I started a little journal. Nothing fancy, just a notes app on my phone. Every time I saw 851, I jotted down:
- Where I saw it.
- What I was doing/thinking at the time.
- Any actions I took afterward.
Honestly, at first, it felt a little silly. But after a few days, I started to notice a pattern. Most of the time, I’d see 851 when I was either feeling anxious about money or putting off something important. And the act of writing it down, of acknowledging it, actually helped me to shift my perspective.
For example, one day I saw 851 on a bus stop ad while I was stressing about a bill. I took a deep breath, reminded myself that things usually work out, and then made a plan to tackle the bill that evening. It felt good! I was dealing with the issue instead of feeling anxious!
Another time, I saw it on a clock when I was putting off a difficult conversation. I had to talk with someone, I was afraid. And I did, and it was tough, but ultimately, it was a huge relief. It was like the universe was saying, “Yeah, this is gonna be hard, but you got this.”
The Results?
So, did my life magically transform? No. I’m not suddenly a millionaire. But I definitely feel different. More aware, more proactive, and a little more trusting of that inner voice.
It’s like the 851 experiment gave me a framework for self-reflection and positive action. It wasn’t about the number itself, but about the intention I put behind it. It’s a reminder to pay attention, both to the external world and my internal one. I think I am going to continue with my little journal and see.
