Recognise yourself?

You’re here.
Your mind
is elsewhere.

  • The argument you keep replaying.
  • The fight weeks away but already in your mind.
  • The presentation you cannot stop rehearsing.
  • The worry that arrives the moment your head hits the pillow.
  • The meeting you were in, but were not really there for.
  • The people you love, but could not quite reach while your head was somewhere else.
  • The days when everything feels heavy, and your mind keeps telling you nothing will change.

A skill you can learn

You are not broken.
You are not weak.
You are not bad at meditation.

You were never shown how to see the moment thought takes over.

That is the missing step. This is where it begins.

Real people. Life under pressure.

In their own words.

Experiences from work, family life and the ring.

Vicky, professional fighter, wearing hand wraps

01 / Vicky · Professional fighter

From mental overload
to presence under pressure.

“I can enjoy the time I am here rather than have my mind racing.”

Vicky

Vicky began the programme struggling with overthinking, emotional reactivity and staying present under pressure. She began recognising those patterns during training, while driving and in everyday life. and practising coming back.

Read Vicky’s story

Looking back on a year of constant activity, Vicky said: “I feel like I was in a daze the past year.” Even five minutes of sitting initially felt intimidating. Within weeks, she described a different experience: “I was looking forward to sitting down with myself and just breathing.”

Her five-minute ThinkLogs went from 5 thoughts recognised in Week 1 to 18 in Week 5. Outside practice, she reported being less reactive, more grounded and more present with her family.

“I feel a lot more in control of my thoughts.”

Months after the programme, she was still journalling, visualising and practising independently: “I felt it and use it daily.”

The skill was recognising thinking earlier, returning to the present and choosing what happened next.

Amelie Poon

02 / AMELIE · CORPORATE PROFESSIONAL · CREDIT AGRICOLE

FROM MENTAL OVERLOAD TO PRESENT IN THE ROOM.

“I'd tried other techniques before. This was different. I started seeing results within three weeks.”

Work stress followed Amelie home. Within three weeks, she noticed a change in how she responded to situations that had overwhelmed her.

Read Amelie’s story

Amelie came to the programme dealing with persistent work stress. the kind that follows you home and keeps running in the background long after the working day ends. She had tried other approaches before but found them too abstract to apply under real pressure. The ThinkLog gave her something concrete: a way to see what her mind was actually doing, rather than being told what to think about it. Within three weeks she noticed a shift. not just in how she felt, but in how she responded in the moments that had previously overwhelmed her.

Credit Agricole renewed their partnership with Gui four consecutive years. Amelie's experience reflects what brought them back.

Roxana, amateur fighter with The White Collar Fight Club

03 / Roxana · Amateur fighter
The White Collar Fight Club

From freezing
to staying present.

“I was able to stay calm, focus and listen. I stayed there for three rounds and, on top of that, won.”

Roxana, after returning to the ring

After freezing in a white-collar fight, Roxana questioned whether she wanted to compete again. A few months after the programme, she returned. able to hear her coach, stay focused and complete all three rounds.

Read Roxana’s story

Over five weeks, Roxana practised recognising thinking, anchoring attention, meditation, breathing, visualisation and positive self-talk.

A working professional and parent, she reported that the benefits reached beyond boxing: more presence in daily life, greater patience at work and better-quality time with her son.

When she returned to the ring, she won. Alongside that result, she described meeting the pressure differently: remaining calm, listening and responding to her coach.

04 / Razvan · BXGP Heavyweight Champion

From overthinking
to knowing himself.

“I know myself now.”

Razvan

Razvan came to the programme with anxiety, disrupted sleep and fear of disappointing others. He reported better sleep, greater patience with his children and less concern about other people’s judgement.

Read Razvan’s story

Across his first six sessions, Razvan’s five-minute ThinkLogs went from 18 to 39 thoughts recognised. Anchoring, body scans, breathing and visualisation helped him practise returning his attention to the present.

He described sleeping “like a baby” and said: “I really don't care what they think anymore.”

The thoughts did not disappear. He described a changed relationship with them, alongside a stronger sense of presence and self-understanding.

Razvan went on to win his next fight, with Gui in his corner.

Choose your path

Begin with seeing.
Build from there.

Start with the free six-day experiment, learn together in the group cohort, or work personally with Gui. Choose the support that suits you.

Try it for yourself

See your mind
for the first time.

Learn the first step to training your mind. For free.

See which thoughts you notice. How often they return. Where they take your attention. Instead of trying to work it all out in your head, see your own words laid out in front of you.

This is the ThinkLog Method I use with fighters. For five minutes, say each thought aloud as you recognise it. The tool captures your words so you can read them back. You begin to see the thinking you are usually caught inside.

Over six days, place your logs side by side. Discover the patterns that keep pulling you away. This is the foundation of the training: recognising thinking while it is happening, so you have a chance to respond differently.

Six days. Five minutes of practice a day. Free.

01 / NOTICE

Catch what usually passes unnoticed.

A short video gives you a focus. Speak what you notice without trying to produce better thoughts or a quieter mind.

02 / REVIEW

See the pattern behind the struggle.

Read your own words. Notice the same worry returning, a judgement taking hold, or your attention moving elsewhere. Explore what is happening through your own experience.

03 / DISCOVER

Understand where to begin.

Bring all six days together in your Awareness Report. See what returns and what you have learnt. You now have something concrete to work with as you practise choosing and returning.

What will I discover about myself?

You will see the thoughts you captured laid out together, how many you recognised during each practice, and which words or concerns returned. Alongside your reflections, this gives you a record of your own experience to learn from.

The count is of thoughts recognised and captured, not every thought you have. The most useful discovery may be a familiar pattern you had never seen so clearly before.

How are my six days kept together?

With saving enabled, your ThinkLogs and reflections stay in the same browser on the same device and website address. The final review brings those saved days together. They are not automatically sent to Gui or synced through your course login. Clearing site data can remove them; an optional backup lets you keep a restorable copy.

Built under pressure

Shaped in fight camps.
Practised everywhere.

Manual Pilot was shaped through years working with fighters before real fights. In fight camp, the mind becomes impossible to ignore: fear, doubt, replaying, imagined outcomes. The body is ready. The mind runs ahead of it.

But the same mind shows up everywhere. Before the presentation. After the argument. At 2am. In the moments when you realise you are not really present for your own life.

Manual Pilot takes the lessons of pressure and turns them into practical awareness training. A simple experiment shows you what you recognise your mind doing.

this is where you begin.
