Okay, so, the other day, I started noticing this number, 889, popping up all over the place. On license plates, receipts, even the time on my phone a few times. At first, I brushed it off, thinking it was just a coincidence. But, it kept happening. It got to the point where I was like, “Alright, universe, what’s the deal with 889?”

So, I started doing a little digging, just casually searching online, you know? Turns out, 889 is what they call an “angel number.” Apparently, it is like a little message, that this number keeps showing up in my life, I decided to try an experiment to see if it had any meaning. So I had my plan to take more risk.
First, I wrote down every time I saw the number 889 over the next week. I carried a little notebook with me everywhere. I noted the date, time, and where I saw the number. It was actually kind of fun, like being a detective in my own life.
- Monday: Saw 889 on a bus number while walking to work. Felt a little jolt of energy, like a sign to take on a challenging project I had been putting off.
- Tuesday: Got a receipt for $8.89 at the coffee shop. Decided to finally ask my boss for that raise I’ve been wanting.
- Wednesday: Woke up at exactly 8:89 AM (I usually set my alarm at 9 o’clock). It felt so weird! That day, I bought some stock that I just felt good about it.
- Thursday: The number 889 showed up on a lottery ticket I found on the street (didn’t win, but still!). That day, I decided to try a new restaurant that I’d been curious about.
- Friday: A new follower on my social media had 889 in their username. Sent them a message, and we ended up having a great conversation.
- Saturday: During my workout, I did 889 steps on a machine at the gym. Then I decided to enter a marathon that is coming up in a few months.
- Sunday: At a bookstore, I picked up a novel, and the page I opened randomly was page 889. Then I decided to book a trip to a country I’ve always wanted to visit.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. After a week of paying attention to 889 and taking some small risks, I started to feel different. The 889 seemed like a nudge to step outside my comfort zone, to try new things, to take some risk and also make changes. I realized I had been playing it a little too safe lately. I decided to embrace this “889 energy” and see where it took me.
Starting to Take Risks
I started saying “yes” to things I would normally say “no” to. I took on a new project at work, even though it scared me a little. I even signed up for an improv class, which is totally out of character for me, but it’s been a blast!
Guess what? That raise I asked for? I got it! And that stock I bought? It went up! That marathon I signed up for? I am training for it right now. The trip I booked? I am so excited for it. It is like the universe, or whatever, was rewarding me for paying attention to the signs and making a change. It’s not about the number itself, but more about the mindset shift it triggered. It’s about being open to new possibilities and not being afraid to shake things up a bit.
So, yeah, that’s my 889 story. It might sound a little out there, but it’s been a really positive experience for me. I’m still seeing 889 from time to time, and now it just makes me smile. It is a reminder that everything will be better if I just take some risks, and good things can happen when you step outside your comfort zone and trust your gut.
