Okay, so the other day I kept seeing the number 816 everywhere. On license plates, receipts, even the time on my microwave! It was getting a little freaky, so I decided to look into this whole “angel number” thing. Turns out, 816 is supposed to be a message from the universe. I was skeptical, but also curious, so I decided to dive in.
My 816 Experiment
First, I grabbed my journal and a pen. I figured if I was going to do this, I needed to document everything. I started by just free-writing about what was going on in my life. What was I worried about? What did I want to change? Mostly, it was about feeling stuck in my job and not really knowing what my next steps should be.
Then, I spent some time researching what 816 supposedly means. From what I gathered, it’s all about positive changes, financial stability, and taking action towards your goals. I jotted down some key phrases that resonated with me: “abundance,” “new opportunities,” “take the leap.”

- “abundance”:Think in a way of abundance.
- “new opportunities”:Open mind to all possible way.
- “take the leap”:Just start and do it.
Next, I decided to be more mindful throughout the day. I paid attention to any little “signs” or opportunities that might pop up. I even started saying “yes” to things I’d normally shy away from. Like, a friend invited me to a networking event, which I usually dread, but I went anyway.
Honestly after I tried and experienced a few day, the biggest thing was the shift in my mindset. I went from looking at the number with a question mark and turned into a believer.
It’s not like a million dollars suddenly appeared in my bank account, but I did feel…different. More proactive, maybe? I started brainstorming ideas for a side hustle, something I’d been putting off for ages. I even updated my resume and started looking at job postings, just to see what was out there.
So, the 816 experiment? It’s ongoing. I’m still seeing the number occasionally, but now it feels more like a friendly reminder than a weird coincidence. It’s pushing me to be more open to possibilities, and to actually do something about the things I want to change. I’ll keep journaling and see where this takes me. Maybe it’s all in my head, maybe it’s the universe… either way, it’s gotten me moving!
