Transmission 097: Sleep mask

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

“Waking up to who you are
requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be.”
— Alan Watts

You are not your past.
You are not the person you’re trying to become.

You are who you are.
Right now.

And that is enough.

Let go of the image.
The performance.
The version of you that only exists in your mind.

There is nothing to prove.
No one to impress.
Nowhere to arrive.

Just be.
As you are.
If that’s not good enough for someone,
too bad.
You are wonderful!

Your favourite blanket.

Not the nicest. Not the newest.
But it knows your shape.

It’s witnessed your sick days,
your nap days,
your fall camping days,
your “just one more episode” days.

Perfect for a species that doesn't have fur.
Well, most of you.

You grab it without thinking.
And it holds you without asking.
Like a hug you don’t have to return.

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.
