You’ve achieved your desire. You’ve found the perfect relationship. Maybe you’ve landed your ideal career. Or improved your financial situation. Nice work.
But.
Achieving your desire is only half the challenge. Once you’ve achieved what you want, how are you going to keep it?

Every manifestation you achieve needs a maintenance plan to sustain it.
Effective weight loss plans always includes specific, do-able and practical strategies to maintain your new weight. The same approach applies to every desire that you manifest.
You might have found the perfect relationship, or landed your ideal career, or improved your financial situation.
- How do you maintain the perfect relationship? If you don’t maintain it, then it won’t remain perfect.
- How do you maintain your ideal career? If you don’t maintain it, then it won’t remain ideal.
- How do you maintain your financial situation? If you don’t maintain it, then it won’t remain secure.
What is your maintenance plan?
How will you keep your current manifestation alive?
Manifesting your desire and leaving it at that is not enough. The manifestation process tends to rely on your intuition as a way to get what you want. But following your intuition alone is not enough to maintain any manifestation. (Side note: If you’re not especially intuitive, then that’s one reason why your manifestation process may not be working.)
Research has shown that your intuition is only useful in circumstances that are familiar to you, where you’ve had previous experience in similar situations, learnt from it and stored it in your long term memory.
For your intuition to be an effective guide to sustaining your newly acquired manifestation, then you would have to ask yourself:
- Do I know how to maintain a perfect relationship? Have I ever experienced a perfect relationship? Am I familiar with effective strategies to maintain it? Have I had enough previous experience in this area for my intuition to draw on?
- Do I know how to maintain an ideal career? Have I ever had an ideal career? Am I familiar with effective strategies to maintain it? Have I had enough previous experience in this area for my intuition to draw on?
- Do I know how to maintain a secure financial situation? Have I ever experienced financially security? Am I familiar with effective strategies to maintain it? Have I had enough previous experience in this area for my intuition to draw on?
If the answer is no, ‘I have not had enough experience’, and you want to keep what you have alive, then you will need to rely on more than your intuition. Like I said, you need a plan. At the maintenance stage, in addition to using your intuition, you will need to take a logical approach.
What do you need to do to maintain your current manifestation? How will you do it? When will you start? How often will you maintain it? Where will you do it? Why will you do it? Who will you do it for? How will you measure the health of your manifestation? How will you know that you’re doing it well? Who will you go to for feedback? You get the idea.
You’ve got what you wanted. Now, how are you going to keep it?
