Transmission 164: The waiting place

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

From orbit, falling looks dramatic.
From inside it,
it mostly feels… slow.

Low energy.
Low motivation.
Systems lagging.

Not spiraling.
Just hovering
uncomfortably close to it.

This is the Waiting Place.
Yes, the one Dr. Seuss warned Earthlings about.
Where nothing is wrong,
but nothing is moving either.

Humans struggle here.
The space feels empty.
And emptiness echoes.

One stalled thought
invites another.
They multiply.
They begin occupying
more space than necessary.

When gravity increases,
the most effective response is not force.
It is simplicity.

One step.
One small action.
Nothing heroic.

Food that helps instead of hurts.
Water.
Movement.

Exercise recalibrates the brain.
Shakes loose the static.
Reminds the body it is still alive.

Then a few easy tasks.
Not the impressive ones.
Just enough to confirm
that forward motion still works.

And reading.
Words act as anchors
when thoughts drift.

This is not the comeback.
This is the setup.

Today is about finding footing.
Tomorrow,
momentum resumes.

Still here.
Still moving.

Oh, The Places You’ll Go
by Dr.Seuss.

A book about hope.
About possibility.

It does not pretend the path is smooth.
It names the waiting.
The doubt.
The stalls along the way.

And then it reminds you
that movement is still yours.

Doors appear.
Feet lift.
Direction returns.

A quiet nudge forward
when you need it most.

A book for kids.
And adults.

Still places to go.

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.
