Transmission 058: Is this still the right way?

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

I walked by a parked car and caught my reflection.

Pretended I wasn’t checking myself out.

After about 15 seconds of adjusting and evaluating my human disguise, I noticed there was someone in the driver’s seat. Just… watching.

They did not wave. I did not explain. I simply continued walking.
I’m not sure who was weirded out more.

Earthlings are creatures of rhythm.

You eat the same breakfast.
Park in the same spot.
Tie your shoes the same way.

Habits are helpful, but sometimes they become invisible rules.
You keep doing something because it’s what you’ve always done.

But routines deserve review.

Today, pause before you repeat. Before you follow. Before you default.

Ask yourself: Is this still the right way?
Is there a quicker way? Cheaper? More logical? Healthier?

Turn off auto pilot today.

Even rituals can be rewritten.

Freezies.

A portable tube of brightly coloured sugar water, frozen into pure joy.

First bite, cold and refreshing. Halfway thru, the perfect consistency. And the final stage…a refreshing liquid. What a ritual!

Perfect for a hot day and a temporary tongue stain.

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.
