Transmission 017: Stop Planning and Start Moving

- - - - - GREETINGS, EARTHLING - - - - -

It is good to want to improve.
It is good to want to change.

But wanting is not doing.
Thinking is not building.
Hoping is not moving.

At some point, action must happen.
That is when the magic begins.

- - - - - HUMAN OBSERVATION - - - - -

Earthlings are excellent planners.
Remarkable visionaries.

But often trapped by overthinking.
“Someday” is a very crowded calendar.

- - - - - 

- - - - - DAILY CALIBRATION - - - - -

Choose one thing today.
A small thing. A first thing.

Do it.
Not perfectly. Just physically.

- - - - - FIELD REPORT - - - - -

While in undercover human form, I discovered a substance called Nutella. Very much an Earth Treasure.

I conducted extensive field testing.
Extensive. Too extensive.

Eventually, I learned how the human belly grows.
I also learned that wanting to feel better did not undo the Nutella. Nor did it get me back into my favourite Earthling denim pants.

Reluctantly, I reduced my intake.
Over time, the belly vanished.

Conclusion: thinking about change is delicious.
Doing is more effective.

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.
