Okay, so the other day I kept seeing the number 172 everywhere. On license plates, receipts, clocks – it was seriously weirding me out. I’m not usually one for numerology or angel numbers, but it got to the point where I was like, “Alright, universe, I see you. What’s the deal?”
So, I started by just paying more attention. When did I see 172? What was I doing or thinking about at the time? I grabbed a little notebook and started jotting down every instance.
- First sighting: 7:17 AM (close enough, right?). I was making coffee and thinking about a big presentation I had to give at work. I felt super anxious.
- Second sighting: Saw it on a bus number while I was driving to work, still stressing about that presentation.
- Third sighting: My lunch total came out to $17.20. This time, I was actually feeling pretty good, having just finished a productive meeting.
Digging a Little Deeper
After a couple of days of this, I decided to do some online searching. I mean, there had to be something about this 172 thing, right? I typed “172 angel number” into Google, and wow, a whole bunch of stuff popped up.
I skimmed through a few articles. Some of it was a little too “woo-woo” for me, but some of it actually resonated. Several sites talked about 172 being connected to trusting your intuition, believing in your abilities, and maintaining a positive attitude, especially when facing challenges.
It hit me that maybe this whole 172 thing wasn’t some mystical message, but more of a subconscious reminder. My anxiety about that presentation was definitely throwing me off. Seeing 172, and then researching its possible meaning, kind of forced me to confront those feelings.
Putting it into Practice
So, I decided to use the 172 sightings as a little cue. Whenever I saw it, I took a deep breath and tried to reframe my thoughts. Instead of focusing on what could go wrong with the presentation, I focused on my preparation and my strengths. I visualized it going well.
It sounds silly, maybe, but it actually helped. The presentation still made me nervous, but I managed to get through it without completely freaking out. And, you know what? It went pretty well! I use to practise my presentation and calm my mindset when i see 172.
I still see 172 occasionally, but it doesn’t feel so freaky anymore. Now, it’s more like a little nudge to stay positive and trust myself. It’s not magic, but it’s a helpful reminder, and that’s good enough for me.
