Transmission 030: Make your bed

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

You have a choice to make when you start your day.

Stumble around until that second coffee, or start with purpose.

Earthlings often underestimate the power of beginnings.

You wait for motivation. For signs. For clarity.
But most of the time, it’s the doing that brings the feeling.

So make the bed. Wash the dish. Write the line. Press play.
Momentum starts with motion.

I once read a book by a retired military leader
(I read a lot of human books)
who claimed that if you want to change the world,
you should start by making your bed.

It sounded almost absurd. But it stuck with me.

Because one small act of order can shift the entire shape of your day.
It reminds your body and brain that you’re capable.
That you still have a say in how the day unfolds.

Make your bed.
Wash the mug.
Write the sentence.
Move the thing that’s been sitting in the wrong place for weeks.

It’s not about the task.
It’s about the signal it sends:
You’re moving. You’re trying. You’re in it.

Start your day off with a positive, no matter how small.

Earthlings are not yet equipped with internal temperature controls.
Which is wild. Truly.
You just… sweat? And hope for the best?

Thankfully, you invented air conditioning.
A box that breathes coolness into a room
like a tired robot whispering, “You’re gonna be okay.”

I can’t wait until you discover the wonders of the Looc Galaxy,
where they’ve perfected built-in climate stabilizers
with emotional ventilation modes.

But for now, A/C will do.
May your freon flow freely.

Float well, Earthling.

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.
