As you enjoy life in the later stages, one way to stay there significantly longer is to actively seek complete connection with yourself, with others, with this moment, your life at large, your money, your purpose, etc. As you craft a routine that helps to keep you in later stages, include activities that deepen your connections: exercise, mediation or prayer time, time to think, time to connect with your partner, and whatever else works best for you.
Remember that you still have needs, you still have an ideology (based on principles at this point) and you still have a self (all necessary to get through the day) – attend to them, evolve them, but do not ignore them and do not become attached to them.
Remember that life will take you around the circle many times but YOU are in control of how much time you spend in each stage. Recognize when you are cycling through the stages again. Take care of any new or leftover tasks from those earlier stages and bring yourself back to the later stages as efficiently as possible.
With time, you will find yourself spending more and more time in blissful later stages and less and less time in earlier stages. That is, you will spend more and more time feeling joy, peace, love, adventure or other positive emotions of your choosing and less and less time with the negative ones. Life becomes an increasing spiral of amazing.
So here is to your amazing life and your complete connection.
