Alright, let me tell you about this whole 1022 thing and money. It wasn’t like I was looking for signs or anything. Just started seeing 10:22 on the clock, like, a lot. Morning, night, didn’t matter. Then it showed up on receipts, order numbers, just weird little places.
At first, I didn’t think much of it. We see numbers all the time, right? But it was persistent. So, one evening, just out of curiosity, I typed “1022 meaning” into my phone. Saw a bunch of stuff, angel numbers this, spiritual that. A lot of it mentioned money, finances, and having a positive outlook bringing good things, something like that.
My Little Experiment
Now, I’m not usually one for this kind of stuff. Pretty practical guy. But I thought, okay, what’s the harm in trying to be more positive about money? Couldn’t hurt, right? Lord knows I worried about bills enough.
So, I started this little personal practice. Wasn’t anything fancy. No crystals or chanting, none of that. I just decided that whenever I caught myself stressing about money, or saw that 1022 pop up, I’d try to consciously stop the negative thought.
- Instead of thinking “Ugh, another bill,” I’d try to think, “Okay, I have the means to cover this right now.”
- If I saw something I wanted but couldn’t afford, instead of feeling bummed, I’d think, “Alright, how can I work towards that?” or just “That’s nice, but not for me right now.”
- I paid more attention to small wins, like finding a discount code or getting a slightly bigger paycheck than expected.
The Process Wasn’t Smooth
Let me be real, this wasn’t easy. Habits are hard to break. Some days I’d totally forget and slip back into worrying. Felt a bit silly sometimes, trying to force positive thoughts when things felt tight. It’s not like seeing 10:22 suddenly made my bank account explode.
There were weeks where things were genuinely stressful financially. And seeing the number then felt almost mocking, you know? Like, “Yeah, yeah, be positive, easy for you to say, clock.” But I kept trying, mostly because I’d already started, and partly because, well, what else was I gonna do? Worrying clearly wasn’t helping much either.
What Actually Happened
So, did I get rich overnight? Nope. Not even close. But looking back over the last few months since I started this little mental game, things have… shifted. It’s subtle.
I found myself making slightly better financial decisions, almost subconsciously. I started a simple budget tracker that I actually stuck with for once. An unexpected freelance gig came through – not huge, but it helped. A refund I’d forgotten about showed up. Little things.
It felt less like magic and more like my mindset change helped me spot opportunities or solutions I might have missed when I was just focused on the lack of money. Maybe being less stressed just freed up mental energy to be more resourceful?
So, the 1022 number? For me, it acted like a reminder. A little poke to check my attitude about money. Did the number itself do anything? I honestly don’t know. But the practice it triggered, focusing on a more positive and proactive approach to my finances, that definitely seems to have made a difference. It wasn’t a windfall, but things feel… steadier. And maybe that’s the real prosperity right there.
