Okay, let’s talk about this 1156 thing. It wasn’t like I went looking for angel numbers or anything. Honestly, I used to think that stuff was a bit out there. But then, this number, 1156, just started popping up. Everywhere.
It began subtly. I’d glance at the clock, and boom, 11:56 AM. Then maybe later, 11:56 PM. Didn’t think much of it at first. We see numbers all the time, right? But then it got kind of persistent.
The Nudging Feeling
I remember I was going through a bit of a rough patch. Felt stuck in my routine, work wasn’t sparking joy anymore, and I was generally feeling unsure about what step to take next. It wasn’t anything dramatic, just that low-level hum of dissatisfaction, you know? Like walking through mud.
And that’s when 1156 really ramped up. I’d get:
- Change back at the store totaling $11.56.
- See it on license plates while stuck in traffic.
- Notice page numbers or document lengths ending in 1156.
- Even saw it once as the view count on some random video I clicked.
It reached a point where it felt less like coincidence and more like someone repeatedly tapping me on the shoulder. Annoying, almost, but also… intriguing.
Trying to Make Sense of It
So, okay, I finally decided to pay attention. I didn’t dive deep into websites or buy books. That’s not really my style. I just sort of sat with it. When I saw 1156, instead of shrugging, I took a second. What was I thinking about right then? What was going on?
I did do a quick search, saw some stuff online about new beginnings, positive changes, home, and trusting your gut. That part about change and trusting myself resonated because that’s exactly where my head was at – feeling the need for change but being too hesitant to actually do anything.
For me, the process wasn’t about decoding a secret message from the universe. It was more like the number became a trigger. A reminder to check in with myself. Seeing 1156 became a prompt: “Hey, remember you wanted to change things? Are you moving towards that, or just staying stuck?”
Taking a Small Step
Around that time, an opportunity came up. It wasn’t a huge life overhaul, just a chance to lead a small project at work, something a bit outside my usual comfort zone. Normally, I might have hesitated, overthought it, maybe passed on it. Too much uncertainty, too much potential for things to go wrong.
But I’d just seen 11:56 on my computer clock right before the email landed in my inbox. And that ‘nudge’ feeling was strong. I thought back to the online stuff – positive changes, trust yourself. So, I just went for it. I replied and said yes before I could talk myself out of it.
It felt like the number just gave me that tiny push I needed. Not magic, just a well-timed reminder of my own desire for something different.
What Happened Next
That small project? It actually went pretty well. It wasn’t perfect, lots of learning curves, but it shook things up. It broke the monotony and gave me a confidence boost I hadn’t realized I needed. It didn’t magically solve everything, but it definitely shifted my perspective and opened doors to other small changes.
I don’t see 1156 quite as often anymore. Maybe I just don’t need the reminder as much right now. For me, it wasn’t about the number itself having power, but about how I used it. It became a personal symbol during a time I needed one, a little mental flag telling me to pay attention to my own intuition and embrace a bit of change. It’s weird how things work sometimes, isn’t it?
