Step 1
Use aromatherapy as a soother and a stress releaser. Essential oils such as lavender and chamomile are great soothers. Simply drop a few drops onto a cotton ball and breathe deeply to improve your performance if you feel like stress and anxiety might hinder performance. You can also combine essential oils with a carrier oil to create a massage oil that may be helpful the night before an event to increase your performance.

Increase your energy level. If you worry that sagging energy may hinder performance, use stimulating essential oils such as mint, eucalyptus, rosemary and citrus based oils. Again, placing a few drops onto a cotton ball and inhaling may help your performance.
