Okay, so, “angel number 1157” kept popping up everywhere for me. Like, seriously everywhere. On clocks, receipts, license plates… you name it. I was getting a little freaked out, I’m not gonna lie. So, I decided to actually do something about it instead of just thinking I was going crazy.

My Little Experiment
First, I Googled it. Duh. Turns out, lots of people think these repeating numbers are messages from, well, angels. Or the universe. Or something. I’m not super religious, but I’m open-minded, so I figured, why not?
The internet said 1157 is about trusting your intuition, embracing change, and stepping into your personal power. Big stuff, right?
So, I decided to actually listen to my gut for a week. No more second-guessing, no more “what ifs.” Just… going with the flow. It was kinda scary at first.
- Day 1: I usually overthink everything. Today, I saw a flyer for a pottery class. My brain immediately went to “Oh, I’m too busy,” but my gut said, “Just do it!” So I signed up.
- Day 2: Had a weird feeling I should call my grandma. We talked for an hour! Turns out, she was feeling lonely. Glad I listened to that nudge.
- Day 3: A project at work came up that was way outside my comfort zone. Normally, I’d avoid it like the plague. But I remembered the “personal power” thing and volunteered.
- Days 4-7: More small things. Saying “yes” to things I’d normally say “no” to. Talking to strangers. Actually feeling my feelings instead of ignoring them.
What Happened?
Honestly? It was… good. Really good. That pottery class? Turns out I love it! It’s so relaxing. The project at work? Terrifying, but I’m learning so much. And my grandma? She’s already asked when I’m calling again.
I’m not saying I’m suddenly a super-enlightened being. But I am paying more attention. To myself, to the world around me. And that 1157? I still see it sometimes. But now, instead of freaking me out, it’s kind of a comforting reminder to keep trusting my gut and keep growing. Maybe it is a message. Or maybe it’s just me finally listening to myself. Either way, I’m glad I paid attention.
