The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Answer

The purpose of Istikhaara is to seek good and guidance from Allah in a matter unclear to a person. If you performed Istikhaara and you subsequently felt clear and positive, then you should regard that as guidance from Allah.

There is no need for you to continue your Istikhaara after that.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
