Avori Henderson Instagram – What does it take to compete in a pageant? ⬇️ For each contestant it’s different. Luckily, I didn’t have to change my life drastically to train for this! I was already going to the gym, already eating healthy, already working on my mindset and mental health, already serving my community and doing events/ speaking, but what I wasn’t doing… WAS WALKING AND SPINNING AROUND IN HEELS. 👠 😂 I have to say, walking has been my biggest challenge so far! How is this nerdy gamer girl supposed to get up on stage in 5in heels and walk!?! But one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my training is that when you take care of yourself, all of your goals are a bit easier to reach. Take the time to care for your body and your mind this week- I recommend indulging in something you love (a good book or a nice treat) and pushing yourself to do something you hate (like cardio) 💪 And remember, YOU MATTER ❤️ Thank you @yeseniavidales and @alyciadarby for being my biggest inspiration and helping me reach my goals. #missusa #missaz #missazusa #missuniverse #pageant #queen #pageantraining
