Transmission 079: You first

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

Last night I went for a walk.

At one point, I crossed to the other side of the street.
At that exact same moment, someone ahead of me also crossed.
So now I was trailing them.
Which felt… weird.

So I crossed back.

Now I was zigzagging, looking like a suspicious weirdo.
All because I didn’t want to make someone else uncomfortable.

Respecting boundaries is a beautiful thing.
But sometimes, we cross our own lines trying to avoid crossing someone else’s.

Today, check in with yourself.
You don’t need to assume what others need.
But you do need to know what you need.
Your comfort, your energy, your space… it matters too.

Kindness doesn’t mean self-erasure.
It means awareness, intention, and balance.

Interior scents.

We shape our homes with sound and light.
We adjust the temperature.
We buy knick knacks, art and decorative pillows.

But scent is something else.

You can fill a room with lemons, coconuts, cedar, fresh bread…
without any of those things actually being there.

It’s invisible atmosphere.
And Earthlings treat it like memory.

A smell can bring you home again.
Even if you’re nowhere near it.

Did you hear about the tourist that visited the Rodo sector?

He forgot to bring deodorant.
Now he’s married.

Bahahahaha

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.
