## What is #SelfLove?

Missing out on what life has to offer because of low self esteem? Get your self-esteem back on track with research-backed methods based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Join 100,000+ people who already enjoy more confidence!

HOW CAN IMPROVING SELF-LOVE BE SO SIMPLE?
We tend to overcomplicate things. Research shows our mind can learn and adapt by using the power of helpful thinking. There are multiple published studies that show this app to be effective for body image, obsessions, self esteem and even depression!

What's the story behind the app?
The app is the result of collaboration between a game developer and a clinical psychologist. When we created this app, we wanted it to be as effective as possible, and to take only 3 minutes a day to complete and improve. So when we published the first version, Prof. Guy Doron began researching the impact of the daily training. We found that within 14 days, users managed to build mental resilience that lasted for additional 30 days!

IMPROVING CONFIDENCE IS SIMPLE
Throw away your negative thoughts. Accept your positive thoughts. Learn to identify your inner conversation and respond to real life thoughts. Train daily and improve your self esteem and wellness.

SCIENCE BACKED
New findings support the effectiveness of the core mechanism used in GGTUDE's apps.
According to CBT models, negative self talk – individuals’ interpretations of the self, others and the world - maintain psychological difficulties such as low self esteem, mood, and maladaptive behavior. 

HOW DO I BUILD MY SELF-ESTEEM?
The foundations of healthy confidence and self esteem are built upon beliefs. Our beliefs have the potential to bias and affect our ability to deal with daily situations. For example, if I believe that "everything in myself needs to be prefect", I won't be able to live up to these expectations and my confidence will decrease.

BELIEFS AND SELF TALK
Beliefs and self talk are interrelated. Once we learn to embrace healthier and more adaptive self-talk, it can change our beliefs and help us get rid of the ones that negatively affect our confidence and self esteem.

IS THIS APP SIMILAR TO PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY?
Our app platform is not designed to be used as a therapy or treatment, however:
1. It is being used by CBT therapists as a complementing tool.
2. It helps in maintaining self esteem during or after therapy.
3. It is found to relieve symptoms of anxiety, worries, obsessions and more. 

HELPFUL THINKING
The basic task in the app is simple - you will be presented with thoughts. If the thought promotes unhelpful self talk - throw it away by swiping it up. If the thought promotes positive or helpful thinking, accept it by swiping it down.

The more we train, the more automatic this process becomes.
 
HOW MUCH SHOULD I TRAIN EACH DAY?
To feel better and improve your confidence, start today! GG Apps are designed to be most effective in short training sessions. You are advised to complete up to 3 levels per day, which should only take between 3-4 minutes.

LEVELS AND TOPICS
The app's many topics and themes are broken down into more than 500 levels. Each level has a pool of self talk statements (or thoughts).
The topics include: self esteem, belief in change, self criticism, negative thinking, coping, positive boost, comparing, perfectionism, emotions, social fears, self as an object, danger and threat, seeing the beauty, fear of abandonment, and more.

You can also test yourself to see how well your confidence progresses with our self assessment tool.

### 1/5 — Freezes with I

*2026-02-04*

Every time I go to put in I or I’m it freezes up I got tired of having to back out of the app

### 1/5 — Just wouldn’t load

*2025-11-11*

It just wouldn’t work. It just kept trying to load and it never did.

### 5/5 — I like this

*2025-05-08*

I have OCD which is extremely annoying a symptom of this is intrusive thoughts about things i cant control this app helps me understand that it’s not my fault and helps me think positively. abousulty love

### 5/5 — helpful to release negative mindset

*2024-04-18*

is helping me to reframe what can somedays feel like a downward spiral that is impossible to escape

### 1/5 — Deceptive people

*2024-04-12*

What they don’t tell you until you’ve already downloaded the app & made selections on what you’d like to improve is you get 7 days free then suscribe @ $59.99/yr. I don’t trust anyone that hides this info until the end. The developer needs some self-help themselves.

### 1/5 — Took my money

*2023-11-05*

Said I can try free for 7 days but instead it took $21.50 for my account !!! Smh

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-11-04*

I use it every day. So helpful!

### 1/5 — It seems like it could do more

*2023-07-07*

It seems a bit repetitive but maybe that’s what makes new mindsets items stick? I wish there were mixed exercises daily. The swiping up or down seems thoughtless but again maybe I don’t understand the science behind it.

### 3/5 — Not enough variation

*2023-02-22*

It is a nice app however I wish there were other activities, it gets repetitive and I feel it would be better with more variation of exercises.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even load the app on the first try

*2023-01-07*

I really wanted to like this app as it looked perfect for my goals for the new year, but after downloading it I couldn’t get it to actually open. All I could see was the beginning screen with the developer’s name and never even saw the screen in the actual app itself. Really disappointed that I can’t even try it out. 😒
