| What kinds of things run through you mind | | | | helping yourself to win, instead those |
| when preparing for the beauty pageant? What | | | | statements and questions are just making you |
| do you think about on stage? How about before | | | | worry about "what if" something bad happens. |
| during a judging interview? What runs in your | | | | This negativity shows through in everything |
| mind? Some of the most common worries that I | | | | you do, whether it's through your smile, eye |
| gather from being at the backstage of beauty | | | | contact or GLOW. So what should I do? |
| pageants are these? I hope my dress is ok. Is | | | | Instead, what pageant winners train |
| my smile looking sweet? Will they like me? | | | | themselves to think about is: I have the best |
| What if I trip and fall? Are you sure they | | | | looking dress out here tonight. It makes me |
| won't boo me? Are you asking these kinds of | | | | perfect The judges will all eyes on me only. |
| questions to yourself? Chances are you have! | | | | Everyone is just mesmerized by my every move. |
| And guess what? You might be upset with me | | | | My interview went amazingly well. Say these |
| but I have to tell this straight on! These | | | | to yourself over and over like a mantra. Sink |
| are the kinds of things pageant LOSERS think | | | | them deep into your mind. Live like one, |
| about. Sorry for being so blatantly blunt, | | | | stand like one, talk like one and feel like |
| but it's true. Let's face it, there is only | | | | one! Positive comments to yourself like these |
| going to be one winner. Everyone else is | | | | are what it takes to put yourself into a |
| going to lose, but there is one thing that is | | | | pageant winner mind set. Sure, they may look |
| guaranteed. The winner of the pageant is | | | | a little boastful, but remember, you ARE NOT |
| going to have completely DIFFERENT thought | | | | saying these things to other pageant |
| running through their head. So what exactly | | | | contestants, just repeating them to yourself |
| goes on in a winner's mind as oppose to a | | | | before and during the pageant. Change this |
| loser's mind set? Simple, it's thinking about | | | | one little thing and next time you WILL SEE |
| the positive rather than the negative. Look | | | | dramatic improvements in your pageant |
| at the comments above again (which are what | | | | results. So that's why I say, You CAN WIN |
| most contestants think about). These are all | | | | YOUR NEXT PAGEANT with just a little change |
| negative thoughts. You are thinking about it | | | | in your thoughts! |
| and making it happen to you. You are not | | | | |
