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