Transmission 057: You Are Here

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

A neighbourhood kid waved and went for a fist bump.
I responded with a high-five.

They collided awkwardly. A strange crab-like gesture.

Now I walk everywhere with both hands already in fists.
Just in case.

I’m so uncool…

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

Time isn’t a race.

Earthlings often live like they’re trying to reach the end of something.
Can’t wait to finish grade school. Then high school. The work week.
But when you finally arrive, you’re already looking for the next thing.

You don’t open a novel and skip to the last page.
You don’t start a movie and jump to the credits.
Life is art. It’s meant to be lived, not rushed.

Let today be a full page. Read it all. Slowly.
Let now be enough.

You’re here! Enjoy it.

Video games.

Yesterday I was a racecar driver, a wizard and a lava chicken chef.
All without leaving the couch.

What an extraordinary technology for trying on lives that aren’t yours.

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, Tao, Alan Watts, 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.
