Life changing

I have dealt with severe anxiety for 10 plus years. My anxiety is more health anxiety. I have lost multiple jobs, relationships time with my children and so much more. I have been to the emergency room 12 times over the last decade with 5 of those times being over the last 3 months. They ran blood work, x-rays and EKGs every time and every time things were normal. I got to the point I was trying to admit myself to the psych ward. I was out of options I had nowhere else to turn. I wasn't getting answers from my doctors that were helping me at all. I had all but given up. I was staying in bed just waiting to die. I was sure it was gonna happen. Then one day I was looking on the App Store for ways to help anxiety. I downloaded four apps and DARE was the third app I opened and started just listening to without much expectations. To my surprise every single word that he spoke was like this app was made just for me. Nobody had ever spoke to Me or explained it in such a way that it just clicked everything made sense. Within days I knew I would be okay, within 5 days I was better than I had been in years. It has now been a couple of months and I started going to the gym, eating better and trying to live my best life. This app will be in my phone forever. I tell anyone that will listen about this app. It truly has changed my life.

Thank you so much for your review! It really helps us to keep going and delivering the best. We are beyond happy to know that DARE works for you. Please help us by spreading the word amongst your friends. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please write to us at support@dareresponse.com. We would love to hear from you!

HELPING SO MUCH

I usually never write reviews but this app deserves it! I have dealt with anxiety basically all my life but a few weeks ago it came back full force. Health anxiety had me running to the doctors daily, intrusive thoughts had me thinking I was crazy, the sensations the come along with generalized anxiety were taking a toll on me physically and mentally. I lost 11lbs in a week because I had to force myself to eat. Doctor prescribed me a medication that made it worse and then my mom found this app. She actually forced me to use it and I thank god everyday because of it. I can now ride out the waves of adrenaline and calm back down, I have my full appetite back and am gaining my weight back. I'm able to push myself out of my comfort zone regularly and I get through it! Last night I noticed I was able to just let intrusive thoughts float by while I was reading to my daughter and that's something that I usually stop and try to block for years now. I never noticed how much I let my anxiety control me until I started this app. Currently waiting for my hard copy of the book and workbook to get here. I couldn't recommend this enough. Take control of your life! This app is a game changer as long as YOU are willing to put in the work to get there.

Wow... we're speechless! Thank YOU so much for this raw and honest review, Gauge&Zoelina. We are beyond happy that you found DARE when you needed it the most, as we were able to help you get through tough times. You're on the right trac, so keep on dare-ing - we're with you every step of the way! If there is anything else we can do for you, just let us know at support@dareresponse.com

Amazing app!!!!

This app saved me. I was going down a path that was not healthy for me. Something happened at my old job that caused me to see i needed to work on changes in my life and to work on myself and i had panic attacks like everyday i could not concentrate in school, or driving, or other everyday activities. I found this app and i am still in process with it but i am better off where i was.. i am still achieving progress each day following what is taught. Its such a great tool and I thank these challenges & daily dares to learn so much about myself and give the self love i deserved and needed. If you put it to your everyday life, you will see progress and it will teach you to not get down on yourself & see the little things as progress. I also enjoy the quotes each day that pop as a notification!
Its a good app to do free but also the payment option is really useful too because you can do the challenges which really help your progress along and teaches you more.
My only complaint is the mini bugs that happen where my app will have a period of just not loading.
Its a great app if you struggle with severe anxiety / panic attacks this is the app that can really
Help you out through this!!!

Thanks for your review, Jackie! Please recommend our app to your friends, and don't hesitate to shoot us a note at support@dareresponse.com if you have any questions.

The 'Power Poses' That Will Instantly Boost Your Confidence Levels

According to Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy, projecting power is more about how you stand than how you talk.

By Shana Lebowitz, Melia Robinson

In 2012, Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy gave a now famous TED Talk on the benefits of " power-posing," or changing your body language in ways that can make you feel more confident.

In her new book, " Presence," Cuddy further explores the benefits of mimicking the body language of powerful people. She argues that power-posing can be more effective than traditional confidence-boosting exercises, like telling yourself how great you are.

She describes power poses as expansive and open. When you adopt one, you take up a lot of space and hold your arms and legs away from your body.

For example, in "The Wonder Woman" power pose, you stand with your feet apart, your hands on your hips, and your chin tilted upward.

Cuddy suggests that our attitudes often follow from our behaviors, as opposed to the other way around. That means assuming the body language of a powerful person can make you feel confident. On the other hand, shouting, "I'm awesome!" requires first a substantial attitude shift, which most of us know isn't so easy to make.

In the book, Cuddy puts power posing in the broader context of what she calls "self-nudges," or small tweaks to your body language and mind-set that can produce psychological and behavioral improvements in the moment. She borrows the term "nudge" from economists and psychologists who discovered about a decade ago that you can spark significant behavior changes by nudging people in the right direction.

Power-posing is an example of what Cuddy calls a "body-mind nudge." Body-mind nudges, she argues, allow you to skip over psychological stumbling blocks, like trying to believe that you're awesome, confident, and perfect, when you clearly don't believe that at all--at least not right now.

Cuddy writes: "Body-mind approaches such as power posing rely on the body, which has a more primitive and direct link to the mind, to tell you you're confident."

What's more, Cuddy says, adopting the body language of a powerful person changes the way other people see and act toward you, which in turn reinforces your confident behavior.

"When our body language is confident and open," she writes, "other people respond in kind, unconsciously reinforcing not only their perception of us but also our perception of ourselves."

So how can you use this strategy the next time you're faced with a challenging situation?

Check out some of the power poses that can boost your confidence at work:

When you're closing a deal, plant your hands on the table and lean forward.

As you're rounding the last bend of your presentation and preparing to deliver the bottom-line offer, command the room with a position Cuddy calls "The Loomer." Leaning forward while standing shows you're engaged and in a position of dominance.

Cuddy named this pose in tribute to Lyndon B. Johnson. "Johnson was 6'4", and he used his stature very thoughtfully-to both intimidate and seduce," she says.

When you're pitching an idea, rest your feet on the table, clasp your hands behind your head, and lean back.

We call this one "The Obama," because the commander in chief can often be seen with his feet propped up on the Oval Office desk.

This is a tough one to pull off, but Cuddy assures us that resting your feet on the desk--preferably your own--and placing your hands behind your head can lead you to take more potentially profitable risks, like saying your next Big Idea out loud.

Before an interview, plant your feet widely and stretch your arms overhead in a V shape.

Striking a high-power pose in your interviewer's office could come off as offensive, presumptive, and rude, regardless of how it makes you feel, Cuddy says. Here's the alternative, which she calls "The Performer" in honor of Mick Jagger.

Before the interview, throw your hands in the air and widen your stance, as if you're soaking in the applause after an encore performance. Do it in the elevator or stairwell on your way up to the office, or in the bathroom before checking in with reception. Hold the pose for two minutes to set those hormonal changes in motion and give you the confidence you need to ace the interview.

When conducting an interview, rest your arm on the back of your chair, keep your knees apart, and recline.

"Lean in" by leaning back. It's the perfect way to assert your confidence and comfort level when grilling a job candidate.

This less bro-y rendition of "The Obama" emphasizes opening up the body, while keeping your feet on the ground. Cuddy named it "The CEO" after seeing a photo of Oprah Winfrey looking like a total boss.

Variations include placing your hands behind your head and resting an ankle on the knee.

When talking to your boss, puff out your chest, plant your hands on your hips, and stand with feet hip-width apart.

When your boss joins you in line at the coffee machine, you may feel your heart quicken as your mind scrambles to come up with a more interesting response to "How was your weekend?"

Channel your favorite superheroine and take what Cuddy calls "The Wonder Woman," a classic crime-fighting pose. Tilt your chin up to maximize the power trip.

This position has the opposite effect of touching your neck, which suggests anxiety or lack of control and is considered the lowest power pose of all.
