Critical Pageant Preparation Tip

Posted by Steven on May 30th, 2009

The most important training exercise that you can do in pageantry is to think about what you are thinking about. The Law of Attraction, which is a law just like the Law of Gravity, states that what you think about you bring about. If you believe that you are the next Miss America or Miss USA then your thoughts will bring about actions, which will confirm your thoughts to bring about greater belief, which will produce more actions that result in more events that further re-enforce your belief which will ultimately lead you to the crown or title that you seek.

The process really seems too easy to believe doesn’t it? In truth the process of programming your mind to think positively about yourself and your future takes constant monitoring, which can be tiresome. However, if continued a positive pattern will develop and the process will become easier.

Your Belief is Confirmed

Don’t believe me? Have you ever heard the saying, “When it rains it pours”? Meaning when one bad thing happens, another bad thing happens and so on until your day is sometimes completely ruined. Likewise, when you are having a good day and you are in a happy, joyous mood then you begin to attract more events that further confirm you optimistic viewpoint. This is the Law of Attraction experience in everyday action.

You Attract Who You Are

“Birds of a feather flock together,” is another example of the Law of Attraction at work. You attract who you are or as the Chinese proverb states, “When the character of a man is unknown look to his friends.” Chances are in your circle of friends everyone earns about the same amount of money, are in the same stages of life, experience similar confusion relationship issues and the list goes on. This is the Law of Attraction working to bring you people, situations and circumstances that will confirm your belief about the world, God and…yes even pageants.

The Master Key System

There is an amazing book that can help you with training your mind to think thoughts of success titled, “The Master Key System.” Supposedly, Bill Gates came up with the idea for Microsoft after reading this book. The author, Charles Haanel, uses the Bible, science and common sense to show you how the Law of Attraction works and how you can use the principle for your benefit.

So many times, pageant contestants forget one of the most important things to practice. Walking in their evening gown. Of course, you know how to walk already, but do you know how to walk with confidence in high heels on stage while being judged by the panel and audience?

So during a pageant how do you walk in an evening gown? Well, your hands should be down by your side with you’re the palm of your hands pointing at your thighs. As you are walking, it is perfectly fine to swing your arms just a little bit. Relax those shoulders and keep your chin held high.

Evening Gown Walk vs Walking in Swimsuit

As you are pacing yourself, you should take note that the pace is going to be different for the swimsuit and evening gown. As you have the evening gown on, you should walk slowly, with confidence. While you have that swimsuit on, you should have a pace that is a bit faster with some pep. Whatever you do, during both of these competitions, you should keep one foot going in front of the other. In general follow the rhythm of the music, as the song will help dictate the tempo of your walk.

As you prepare for the pageant be sure to carve out time to practice walking in your evening gown and swimsuit. When the competition is near, you will already know how to walk and the process will look natural to the judges. As you are walking on stage, you will need to have all of your concentration towards the judges (especially the least attractive male judge as this will give you brownie points). No one else in the room should matter to you at this point.

Smile

Don’t forget to smile and look as if you are having the time of your life. No one wants to watch someone on stage that appears as if they are miserable. If you are having a problem maintaining a smile then think of a memorable, joyous occasion.

As a side note, the day of the pageant should not be the first time you have worn your shoes. As you practice walk in the actual shoes that you are going to wear during the competition. This will help to break them in and will allow you to walk with complete confidence just as you have practiced.  By using these tips as well as ones that you already know, you will be on your way to securing a great score in the evening wear competition.
