So, I wanted to talk about this whole 1723 thing today. It’s one of those angel number things people mention. Honestly, I wasn’t really looking for signs or anything, but this number just started popping up. Like, everywhere.
First, it was the time on my phone – 17:23. Okay, happens. Then I saw it on a license plate later that same day. Weird coincidence, maybe. But then it kept happening. Order numbers, page numbers in a book I was reading, even the view count on some random video. It got kinda spooky after a while, you know?
I’m not usually big into this stuff, but after the fifth or sixth time in like, two days, I figured, alright, let’s see what the internet says. Typed it in, saw some stuff about balance, staying positive, focusing on goals, maybe something about spiritual awakening. Sounded nice, but kinda vague, right?
Okay, So What Did I Actually Do?
Well, I decided not to just ignore it. Felt like I should at least try to… I don’t know, pay attention? The whole “balance” thing stuck out because, let’s be real, my work-life thing was a total mess back then. All work, barely any life.
So, my “practice” wasn’t some big ritual. It was more like this:
- I started forcing myself to actually take breaks during the day. Like, get up, walk away from the computer.
- I tried saying “no” to extra projects I really didn’t have time for. That was hard.
- I made a point to schedule something non-work related at least twice a week. Even just grabbing coffee with a friend or going for a walk without my phone buzzing constantly.
- When I felt overwhelmed, instead of just grinding harder, I tried to stop, take a breath, and think, “Okay, what’s actually important right now?” Focusing, like the number supposedly suggested.
It wasn’t magic. Seeing 1723 didn’t suddenly fix everything. But noticing it, and then deciding to consciously try and find a bit more balance and focus because of it? That actually started to shift things. Slowly. It felt like a nudge, a reminder to check in with myself.
I started feeling less frazzled. The projects I did focus on got done better, probably because I wasn’t trying to juggle ten things badly. It was just about taking that weird, persistent number showing up and using it as a kick in the pants to actually do something I already knew I needed to do. It’s still a work in progress, finding that perfect balance, but seeing 1723 was definitely the weird little catalyst that got me started on trying.
