Emotional Strength & Intelligence for Pageantry
Last week I discussed the importance of having a mental strategy when competing for a pageant. Today I want to talk about building emotional strength, why it's important and how it will help you succeed in your upcoming pageant, but also in your life.
Some of you may have experienced those certain girls who just lose it backstage when things don't go the way they planned. Maybe they are upset about their interview or that they didn't place in the Top 15...
I am going to tell you right now, do NOT be a hot mess backstage. It not only makes you look bad and a sore loser, but how is it really helping you, your performance and your overall experience? The truth is, it isn't. In fact, it's just going to hurt you.
An emotionally fit person will stop at nothing to find solutions for whatever difficulties arise while maintaining a forward struggle.
The not so emotionally strong person will become fragmented when faced with the pressures and challenges of life but they are not as resilient.
You better believe you will face challenges while preparing for your pageant. How do you emotionally
handle these challenges? Do you allow them to get the best of you and become a drama queen, or are you able to control your mood, breathe and give yourself time to calm down so you can handle the situation accordingly?
Developing emotional self-control
The key to learning to control emotions is learning to control your thoughts. As soon as you feel yourself having negative emotions, recognize them, deal with them, but then change your thoughts to something positive so that your mood might improve quickly.
Mastering this will provide you with ability to deal with any and all of the difficulties life will throw at you.
If you need help with developing the skills to be more resilient, more self-disciplined, patient and maintain good habits to deal with pageantry's (and life's!) challenges, then call me to set-up a consultation!
