Crystals for Confidence & Courage

Confidence & courage arise from inner clarity and knowing your self-worth. It can be impeded by fears of rejection, low self-esteem, self-doubt, and unhealed trauma and wounds.

These stones help restore your natural confidence, courage, strength, and optimism. Some act to boost the will and sense of inner power, while others bring renewed vitality and life-force energy to increase your confidence.

One of the best stones for boosting self-confidence is beautiful Sunstone. To strengthen your willpower and energy, try Carnelian. To support you in sticking up for yourself in difficult communication situations, try Blue Lace Agate. For help getting going to create what you want in life, try Pyrite.
