I looked at the clock; 2:22PM.
Remembering seeing a graphic I’d seen with the various meanings of repetitive numbers thanks to the tag team of the Universe + Instagram algorithm, I instantly Googled “repeating numbers.” I was directed an article from thelawofattraction.com.
The post begins by describing how the Universe uses numbers as a way to grab our attention as a way to communicate with us. Alright, Universe, I’m listening. Whatcha got for me?
Let’s take a step back.
A few short hours before while setting an intention during my yoga practice, the word FORGIVENESS immediately came to mind. Not just the idea of general forgiveness, but forgiveness for one particular strained relationship.
“I am ready to learn through love.” – Gabby Bernstein
Forgiveness for actions taken and those undone; for words that can’t be taken back and for stories left untold. Forgiveness for this person for not knowing their impact + for myself for letting this hurt consume so much time + space in my heart.
I followed my practice with a few pages of Gabby Bernstein’s “The Universe Has Your Back,” a book I picked for an upcoming book club I’m already behind on. (Oops.)
She states – more eloquently than me – that surrendering your fears + woes to the Universe so that, with an open heart, you can look at them + say, “I am ready to learn through love.” This means making the very intentional effort of switching your perspective from one of suffering to one of opportunity; essentially rose-colored glasses for the soul.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY made the decision to flip the script on this relationship
While reading this, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY made the decision to flip the script on this relationship: to add more compassion into the mix + open myself up to heal.
Fast forward to about 2:23PM when I’d begun reading up on the meaning of the repeating 2’s.
It turns out that the number 2 is closely related with relationships (one of me + one of you) so seeing 222 is a sign it’s time to take a good hard look at some of the relationships in your life.
Okay, Universe, I’m picking up what you’re dropping down – while I’m at it, I’m also picking up the phone because you’ve made it quite apparent this relationship needs some attention.

Before I may have seen our short conversation as an extra pages in the damaged relationship story, but knowing the Universe truly had my back on this one helped me enjoy every word + leave feeling hopeful for our future.
Have you tuned in? What signs tell you the Universe has your back?
