Do you walk with a spring in your step, or a slouch in your slide?
Confidence makes all the difference in the world between the two – and all it takes is a shift in your outlook and attitude.
But that shift could be quite a massive one. And when confidence is low, we’ll stop ourselves from taking any action – even the baby steps – because we feel we lack what it takes and feel like we’re going to fail anyway so why even get started?!
Lack of confidence is a canny trickster. It has us finding all the reasons (at great length!) as to why we aren’t cut out for what we want, or why we’ll never get chosen when there are so many more highly qualified/talented people out there, or why we really don’t want ‘that thing’ after all.
We can be so clever and creative in coming up with all the possible negative outcomes that we end up rationalising our dreams, hopes or ambitions into an early grave, then spending our time re-arranging flowers on the headstone and manicuring the lawn with nail clippers instead of achieving what we really wanted deep down.
The underlying reason for your lack of confidence is something only you can guess at. And maybe you don’t even know where to start in figuring that out. But the beauty of essential oils is that they work without you understanding how they work.
It might take a little experimenting to come up with a combination that really makes a profound difference for you. But meanwhile along your journey of discovery, you’re enjoying inhaling lots of lovely smells and feeling generally nicely relaxed and uplifted.
And even that can be enough to help you feel better about yourself, and more likely to put into action the tips and guidelines you’ll find in lots of great books and sites out there specifically dedicated to helping with confidence.

It’s always hard to choose, but our top 3 essential oils for bolstering your confidence are: Young Living Frankincense (single essential oil), Young Living Valor® (essential oil blend) and Young Living Joy™ (essential oil blend).
Young Living Frankincense
High in sesquiterpenes, frankincense (Boswellia carterii) elevates spirits while bringing a sense of security and faith. A beautiful oil to accompany all kinds of meditation, frankincense brings a very special feeling of comfort and connectedness.
At the slightest wavering of your faith in yourself, your abilities or your choices, inhale frankincense deeply and repeat frequently and see for yourself how it makes you feel.
Aroma: earthy and balsamic
Young Living Valor®
One of Young Living’s first and most loved essential oil blends, Valor® was especially formulated by Young Living’s founder D Gary Young to help restore confidence and a sense of equilibrium. And it smells divine!
Valor® is a beautiful oil to inhale first thing when you wake up and last thing before you go to bed. And frankly, pretty much every hour on the hour for the rest of the day. Seriously, try this level of frequency for a week and then consciously stop and give your feelings and outlook a ‘week in review’. Feeling great? That’s what we love to hear!
Aroma: floral and woodsy
Young Living Joy™
This really is exactly what its name says. It’s joy in a bottle – and only the healthiest kind. Young Living Joy™ is a blend that includes citrus oils (bergamot, lemon and tangerine – all ‘happy oils’), along with ylang ylang, geranium, coriander seed, jasmine, roman chamomile, palmarosa and rose oil (often considered to have the highest energetic frequency of all essential oils).
It smells joyful – it really does. If you don’t have any polka dots in your wardrobe, you might well find yourself acquiring some! It’s funny, but just feeling joyful does amazing things for your confidence levels. Don’t believe me? Try it and see!
Aroma: floral, warm and sweet
How to Use these Essential Oils
- diffuse
- apply to the soles of your feet
- put 1-2 drops in your palms or on your wrists, gently press/smooth them together, inhale then rub behind your neck and ears
