Transmission 015: Skip What Stresses You
You don’t have to do everything. Less can be wiser.

Some tasks are important. Some are noise.
Your mission is to know the difference.

Earthlings often stack their days with shoulds.
Should clean that. Should answer that. Should attend that.
But not all shoulds are wise. Some only add stress.
Humans tend to add more, to maximize, to multitask, to cram it all in, to write giant to do lists, to cause their own stress, anxiety and unhappiness.

Pause before your next task, invite response, calendar entry or weekend plan.
Ask: Will this add stress?
If it adds stress and is not necessary, skip it.
Skipping is not failure.
It is strategy.
It’s okay to not do everything. It’s okay to do less. It’s okay to rest, relax and recover. It’s okay to just be.

A good book.
An invitation to be still. To let your mind travel while your body rests.
Highly recommended when the day feels too full.
Not everything must be done.
Some things can simply be read.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.
Inspired by Stoic philosophy, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.
If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.
If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.
Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
