Why You Should Participate In A Beauty Pageant?

1 Because Everyone Is Beautiful In Their Own Unique Way

Much in contrast to what the perception of ‘beauty is in society, the definition of ‘beauty is a lot more inclusive in the world of ‘beauty pageants’ Thankfully, here, it’s not just about pretty faces, fair complexion, or flawless skin It goes a whole lot deeper than that When it comes to Beauty Pageants, ‘beauty’ is also defined as a reflection of one’s values, thoughts, and attitude It’s not your color, caste, or religion that’ll help you win But your purity of thoughts and internal beauty could definitely take you a long way

2 Beauty Pageants Motivate You To Stay Fit

Beauty Pageants are a whole lot more accepting these days They do not encourage people to change their physical appearances but definitely do emphasize physical fitness They endorse lifestyle changes like eating healthy, waking up early, exercising, yoga, etc It’s an undeniable fact that these lifestyle changes can take not only your physical but also your mental well-being several notches higher

3) Because Beauty Pageants Teach You To Compete With Your Own Self

As a mentor and a guide, I always advise my students to compete with their own selves rather than with the other competitors. It’s always good to look within yourselves and find your own strengths and weaknesses. Upgrading your strengths and working on your weaknesses ensures that you transform into a better version of your own selves. I then ask them to look back on their journey from where they started to see how they have been able to improve and prove all the naysayers, along the way, wrong.

4) Because beauty pageants can be life-changing

In my career, I have met so many young girls & boys who would underestimate themselves because they felt they were not ‘good enough as per the parameters set by society Having been called ‘not beautiful enough’ or ‘not intelligent enough for most of their lives had undoubtedly taken a toll on their self-confidence So much so that they would be a nervous wreck if they had to speak on stage for even a minute! The same youngsters completely transformed after being part of beauty pageants! Not just did it drastically boost their confidence levels, but it also remarkably enhanced other skills like communication, leadership, interviews, and poise These attributes not just help you in the pageants world but also in any career option that you would choose in your life

5) Beauty Pageants are not meant for Models only

Through this article, I would like to bust one of the biggest myths about beauty pageants which is that ‘beauty pageants are the same as modeling’ Absolutely not! Modeling is a profession Just like medical, engineering, accounting are all professions, so is Modeling. Models get photoshoots done for various brands, shoot commercials and do fashion shows for designers, etc. On the other hand, beauty pageants are open to everyone. You may be a doctor, engineer, model, or student and still participate in a beauty pageant.
