It&#8217;s very common in self-help and self-development to reframe something is to basically look at it in a different way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I want you to consider is reframing your pageant competition. Though you&#8217;re running for a title that will represent your community, or state, or nation, I want you to reframe it as: instead of telling people that you are competing in a pageant, imagine what would change if you told them that you were running for public office. Right? If you told your boss or barista or your second cousin those types of things now instead of them being flooded with their uneducated stereotypes about pageantry, they will instead be flooded with their uneducated stereotypes about the political office.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some similarities between politicians and pageant women:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Politicians have campaigns that they run on, and it&#8217;s very similar to pageant platforms. Often even in politics, it&#8217;s called a political platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Politicians support and speak for a group of people. That is exactly what you are doing as a pageant woman, right?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Politicians have a local, state, and national level; rules to win; and so do you. The same things are happening in pageantry.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Politicians also get voted into positions. So do you!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp; Politicians must prepare for very difficult conversations to come up at any time and so do you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>6:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Politicians do appearances all over the place.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Video Here:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fo7uhCmQZKk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>Now strategy #2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is probably even more important, even though it&#8217;s not always possible and that is to plant yourself in rich soil. Just like a flower will bloom when it&#8217;s in perfect conditions and it struggles to bloom in poor conditions, the same will be true for you no matter what you are achieving in life. <\/span><b>You may have to replant yourself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, find good soil, find a place where people will welcome you where they&#8217;re cheering you on.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, I understand you&#8217;re not able to leave the \u2018soil\u2019 you\u2019re in because it\u2019s your husband or your mom that is critical of you competing. Oftentimes those things can happen, and so you can&#8217;t just replant yourself, but what you can do is add good soil. So, if you&#8217;re unable to fully get out of the negative environment and replant yourself into a fully positive environment what you can do is at least add good soil.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that my dear is how you win a pageant.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>Subscribe:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/win-a-pageant-professional-pageant-coaching-with\/id999146768\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly93aW5hcGFnZWFudC5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/3eIAbuDMtQ1o79THSO2gvP\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotify<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/show\/win-a-pageant\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stitcher<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/youtube\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>Connect with Alycia Darby:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; Join the<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/freepageantcourse.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Pageant Course<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; Visit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WinAPageant.com<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; Follow<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/alyciadarby\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alycia on Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<script async data-uid=\"ed71a6c61d\" src=\"https:\/\/winapageant.ck.page\/ed71a6c61d\/index.js\" data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" data-no-defer=\"1\" nowprocket><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ep-180-Thumbnail-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3037\" \/> I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve been in a situation where you tell your friend or relative you\u2019re competing in your pageant and suddenly they are giving you their uneducated opinion and judgment.
