Okay, so I kept seeing the number 142 everywhere. On license plates, receipts, clocks… it was getting a little weird. I’m not usually one for “signs,” but this felt… persistent. So, I decided to do a little experiment and see if paying attention to this “angel number” thing would actually lead anywhere.
Day 1: Awareness
I started by just being hyper-aware. Every time I saw 142, I made a mental note. I didn’t change anything about my routine, I just observed. Honestly, the first day was pretty uneventful. Saw it a couple of times, felt a little silly, moved on.
Day 2: Intention Setting
This is where I tried to get a little more “woo-woo.” I read somewhere online (don’t judge) that 142 is about new beginnings and trusting your intuition. So, when I saw the number, I took a deep breath and tried to focus on what I wanted to “manifest.” Mostly, it was just clarity about a work project I was feeling stuck on. Nothing magical happened, but I did feel a little more… centered, I guess?

Day 3: Taking Action
Okay, this is where things got a little interesting. I saw 142 on a bus stop ad, and for some reason, I felt this urge to call an old colleague. We hadn’t talked in ages, but she always had great advice. So, I did. And guess what? She gave me a totally new perspective on my project, something I hadn’t even considered. Was it the number? Maybe, maybe not. But it pushed me to do something I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Day 4: Reflect and keep it
I still see, So I decided keep going, I saw 142 while I write done the last paragraph.
Day 5-7: Keeping Track
- I kept a little journal of when and where I saw the number.
- I continued to try and connect it to a small intention or action.
- Some days it felt forced, other days it felt surprisingly… helpful.
The Verdict?
Look, I’m not saying that seeing 142 magically changed my life. But it did make me more mindful, more open to possibilities, and more willing to take small actions. It was like a little nudge from the universe, or maybe just from my own subconscious. Either way, it was a fun experiment, and I’ll probably keep paying attention… just in case.
