6 Powerful Crystals For Self Efficacy and Personal Growth

On the road to success, whatever that might look like for you, there are certain qualities and states of being that are highly beneficial in getting in the optimal zone to succeed: focus, motivation, clarity, confidence, patience and optimism are a few. Here are 6 crystals which will help you cultivate these vital attributes and thus help you on the way to success and realising your full capabilities.

Focus: Amazonite 

Amazonite’s healing properties are closely aligned with the brain and the body’s nervous system; the nervous system contributes significantly to our emotional state, so amazonite’s calming and soothing properties can help alleviate tension and aggravation, thus helping you to be free of emotional impediments to your focus. Similarly, it relieves emotional trauma, worry and fear which will also help you cultivate a clear mind-set which is ideal for ultimate focus. It is also associated with good luck and fortune so can help foster confidence, hence further improving your focus.

Motivation: Carnelian

Carnelian is a very powerful stone when it comes to harnessing and maximizing your motivation. It has stabilising and balancing qualities, enabling you to focus in on what you most desire, which is the driving force behind your motivation, and it also promotes movement and vitality which will help maintain consistency in your motivation. Carnelian encourages and supports you to reach targets and goals, helps bring enjoyment to your endeavours, and instils courage to break through fear and procrastination which can hold you back.

Clarity: Azurite 

Azurite is well known for stimulating the third-eye chakra, thus refining inner vision and personal insight, which helps you work out who you are, what you believe to be important and what you want in life. It can aid with honing intuition, understanding of universal connectivity, as well as realising and understanding your own path in life. Azurite can also help with outward discernment: recognizing and understanding the truth in people and situations. It supports clear-headed assessment, enabling you to make wiser, more informed choices.

Confidence: Sunstone 

Sunstone is an effective stone to help instil confidence: it stimulates the solar plexus chakra, which is closely related to your level of confidence, sense of purpose and motivation, as well as the sacral chakra which is the centre of emotions and feelings – if we feel balanced emotionally and within our selves it is much easier to cultivate inner confidence. Sunstone also converts a lack of self-belief into strength, enthusiasm and new levels of possibility. It also helps highlight and refine talents and abilities to help create good foundations for confidence. It is also used to increase leadership ability and self-empowerment.

Patience: Amber 

Amber has strong abilities to bring inner peace and calm emotions when you are frustrated, eliminate fears and clear the mind, making maintaining patience much easier. It also helps clear negative energy from spaces, as well as helping transpose negative energy in the body into positive, giving you a safe, supportive environment to support and enhance your efforts to be patient. Ultimately it can also bring success to your pursuits, ensuring your recent patience has paid off, which will encourage further patience in the future.

Optimism: Citrine

Citrine is said by many to be the best stone to use for optimism: it is very effective in emotional balancing, dispelling feelings of depression, fear, anxiety about uncertainty and negative concerns in general, all of which can stand in the way of optimism. It can also activate creativity and encourage self expression, the practice of both of which can help release unhelpful emotions, thus leaving more room for positivity. Citrine strengthens self esteem and promotes vibrant, beneficial energy around the body.
