Crystals To Boost Your Self-Esteem

Healing crystals can be powerful tools when it comes to supporting and growing your self-love.  When it comes to taking care of yourself, having a strong sense of self is non-negotiable, but it’s sure as hell not always easy. 

We’ve all faced moments in our lives that bring us down and cause us to question our true potential.  For some people, brushing off a small defeat and moving on to the next challenge is a breeze.  For others, the time it takes to bounce back after a failure, big or small, can be much more long lasting than one would hope.

Confidence and courage arise from inner clarity and knowing your self-worth, and fears of rejection, low self-esteem, doubt, and unhealed trauma and wounds can really get in the way of the self-belief we all deserve.

The following stones can help restore your natural confidence, courage, strength, and optimism.  Some act to boost your will and sense of self-love and inner power, while others bring renewed vitality, abundance and life-force energy to increase your confidence.
