Manifest With Intention

Dream big, then plan for the obstacles so it actually happens.

What you will walk away with

Your top wish becomes a WOOP plan with if-then responses for the obstacles you expect.

This course is for you if

  • You set goals every year and lose them by spring
  • You like vision boards but want a plan behind them
  • You want research-based tools, not wishful thinking

What is inside

  1. Module 1: Manifesting That Works
    Memory hook: DREAM + DO · Picture it, then plan for it. Dreaming alone isn't enough.
    • Why wishing isn't enough (5 min)
    • Get crystal clear (5 min)

    Action step: Write one clear intention with a what, by-when and why. Add it to your dream board in the app with an 'I am' statement.

  2. Module 2: The WOOP Method
    Memory hook: W.O.O.P. · Wish · Outcome · Obstacle · Plan
    • Wish and Outcome (5 min)
    • Obstacle and Plan (6 min)

    Action step: Do one full WOOP for your intention: write the Wish, Outcome, your biggest inner Obstacle, and an if-then Plan.

  3. Module 3: If-Then Plans
    Memory hook: IF ___, THEN I ___ · Decide now so you don't have to decide later.
    • Why if-then works (4 min)
    • Write your if-thens (5 min)

    Action step: Write two if-then plans for this week: one to start, one for your obstacle. Add them as steps in your roadmap.

  4. Module 4: Become It Daily
    Memory hook: SEE · SAY · STEP · See the dream, say who you are, take one step. Every day.
    • A 5-minute morning ritual (4 min)
    • Act as if, with integrity (4 min)

    Action step: Do the SEE · SAY · STEP ritual for 5 mornings in a row. Check in with the app each day to build your streak.

  5. Module 5: When It's Not Happening Yet
    Memory hook: ADJUST, DON'T ABANDON · Change the plan, not the dream.
    • Review weekly (4 min)
    • Let go of the wrong dreams (4 min)

    Action step: Do a weekly review this Sunday. Keep, change or release each goal on your dream board.

Every module ends with a three-question quiz, and the course ends with a 10-question final test. Pass it to earn 40 learning points and the Manifest With Intention badge in the app.

The research behind it

Built on research by psychologists Gabriele Oettingen (mental contrasting, WOOP) and Peter Gollwitzer (implementation intentions).

Free preview: Why wishing isn't enough

Psychologist Gabriele Oettingen spent years studying positive thinking. A surprising finding: people who only fantasized about a great outcome often put in less effort, because the daydream already felt good.

That doesn't mean dreaming is bad. It means a dream works best when you pair it with an honest look at what's in the way.

In this course, manifesting means three things: getting crystal clear on what you want, expecting obstacles, and planning exactly how you'll act.

Key points: Fantasy alone can lower effort · Pair the dream with reality · Clarity + obstacles + plan
