Transmission 099: Float

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

“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water.
When you swim, you don’t grab hold of the water,
because if you do you will sink and drown.
Instead you relax and float.”
— Alan Watts

Stop thrashing.
Start floating.

The weekend is here.
Let it hold you.

You don’t have to plan the perfect day.
You don’t have to finish the list.

You just have to show up.
And float for a while.

If something feels heavy,
set it down.

Your challenge this weekend:
Say no to one thing.
Say yes to something easier.
Something light.

You can’t float if you’re weighed down.

This weekend, live.
That’s been the point of this week’s transmissions.
Hopefully, they’ve taken hold.

Float well, Earthling.

Purple hoodies with a UFO on them.

Purple. The best colour.
UFO. Or SUV (Space Utility Vehicle) as I like to call it.
Hood. For warmer floating.

If only there was a reason to celebrate by launching a new shop.
Maybe a milestone transmission or something…

Maybe they’ll be so cool
that everyone on a Christmas gift list would want one too…

As I was writing this transmission,
my playlist shuffled up and dealt me a gem.
A song perfect for feeling floaty.
So Free, by Alex Serra.

It’s in the playlist.
I actually added a second by the same artist.
They’re both quite lovely.
Happy listening.

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.
