I found this in Entrepueneur magazine and I think this is very exciting news for small businesses with limited marketing budgets who want to reach a bigger market.

From their website:

MyPRGenie (www.myprgenie.com) has been developed to allow business and individuals to tell their stories themselves. MyPRGenie.com is the leading self-service publicity engine to provide users with an opportunity to create their pitch, upload it to our system, and distribute pitches and stories to all types of publicity providers – journalists, editors, associates, event coordinators, industry analysts, and more –via PDF, text, pictures or video!

Through MyPRGenie, users— be it an individual, company or non-profit agency, can go online upload their press release and draft a customized note directly to appropriate media channels and major newspapers, as well as more than 4,000 daily newspapers and broadcast media, financial and trade publications, and online news sites and portals. With MyPRGenie, all you have to do is upload your news and we’ll maximize your exposure to all the right people- those who can take your story and publicize it!

The advantage of MyPRGenie is that users can use MyPRGenie to communicate directly with targeted press, bloggers, analyst, or clients of their choosing. A client can also use MyPRGenie to selectively communicate, or target, certain types of reporters and editors in the media, based on that client’s industry and focus.

MyPRGenie was developed by several people with years of experience in public relations, journalism and marketing, and who understand how inefficient the public relations industry and its many agencies have become. By creating a way for the story tellers to work directly with the story writers, MyPRGenie looks forward to creating a democratic, efficient publicity market. Call it a 21st century marketplace of ideas.

I highly recommend you read a book by Jackie Lapin called, The Art of Conscious Creation, How you can Transform the World.

What makes this book different from all the other consciousness books out there?

Jackie has created “The Empowering Manual for Personal and Global Transformation” in which she has gathered multitudes of spiritual and scientific material from a variety of places and then clearly convey it to us, so that it is enjoyable, informative, motivating and compelling in only 204 pages. 

She presents her 25 Universal Guiding Principles to leading a happier, more fulfilling life with references from experts in their field for further self study so together we can positively change the world. 

This book is a brilliant guide with many resources to help you consciously create your life.

You can no longer feel powerless or a victim once you read and apply the knowledge in Jackie’s book. You will be excited about your infinite powers to create and be moved to make changes that will impact you personally and globally.

Check it out: The Art of Conscious Creation 

Jackie’s Website United World Healing, an international organization uniting millions around the world in daily acts of Conscious Creation.

Thomas Moore in his book A Life at Work: The Joy of Discovering What You Were Born to Do defines a calling as a deep sense that your very being is implicated in what you do.  “You feel that you fit into the scheme of things when you do this particular work.  You have a sense of purpose and completion in the work. It defines you and gives you an essential tranquillity. The work that provides such a deep reward may change over time and you may go through several periods in your life defined by a different work.  Toward the end of your life you may see all the jobs you have done as fateful, composing your life work and answering your calling”

It is your duty to respond to your calling. Your soul wants to expand and express itself.

Each of us is a piece of a universal puzzle to which our work is greatly needed.

If we each stepped forward honoring that calling when it is revealed; not letting our fears, doubt or others keep us from taking action we would be happier and healthier.

You can not be successful without releasing your creative genius. That creative genius is different for everyone!

Start thinking about what you want to do.

What gets you excited?

What are you passionate about?

What gets you really angry and makes you want to do something?

What would you do for free if you didn’t have to worry about money?

Search for those answers and start taking steps towards them.

Let me know what you come up with, I would love to know and so would others!

Have you ever had a day where
gravity just isn’t working for you?

Where you can’t keep your feet planted
on the ground and you’re floating
around in space?
Of course not, because gravity is a LAW.
It doesn’t work on some days and not on other days.
It’s always working, and you are experiencing the
effects of it all the time.

The Law of Attraction is a LAW.
It is a powerful force that is constantly
operating whether you are aware of it or not.

You aren’t mindful of the Law working in your life,
any more than you are consciously thinking about the Law of Gravity.
When you spill a glass of water,
you don’t say, “ That darn Law of Gravity!”,
even though it was gravity at work. 
The Law of Attraction works in the same mysterious way in your life.
Therefore, if that is true it means that what you have right now (or don’t
have right now) is exactly what you want;
the abundance and the debt,
the joy and the suffering.
What you want and what you don’t want, you are attracting it all.
Why? Because your conscious thoughts aren’t all there is to your life!
Beneath the surface of your thoughts is a complex collection of beliefs
that are exerting an extremely powerful magnetic force in your life.
These beliefs become habits which influence your actions.

When these subconscious thoughts align
with what you consciously intend, you attract it.
However, if there are thoughts and beliefs that
run contrary to your conscious desires you
will not attract them, no matter how much you want them consciously.
Even if you do achieve them temporarily, you will ultimately lose them. 
The strength of your unconscious beliefs and thoughts will ultimately win out.

This is no cause for beating up on yourself or even feeling as if you have failed
as most are not aware of unconscious beliefs at work underminding your very wishes.  

I hear how confused and frustrated people are about the Law of Attraction
because they believe it works sometimes and not other times.
The fact is it is working all the time.
You think it’s not working when it attracts to you what you don’t want.
If your attention is on what you don’t want happening it attracts that.

Are you getting bits and pieces of what you want, but not
all of your desires?
Do you feel like the Law of Attraction “works”
for you only sometimes?
Are there things you want in your life that you don’t really
believe you can have or deserve? 
Do you want get rid of the obstacles and attract
whatever it is you’re trying to achieve?
Or have you already experienced the incredible power
of the Law of Attraction, and are ready to
take it to a whole new level?

Here are 6 ways to clear contrary beliefs, enhancing your ability to attract your conscious wants?

1) Witness your thinking.
What do you spend your time thinking about?
Is it positive thinking and beliefs about what you want?
Or are you focused on the things you don’t want showing up in your life?
Doubts, fears, worries, other people …..

If you are having trouble catching your thoughts, pay attention to your moods and/or feelings:
feeling good or bad, expanded or contracted, excited or bored, anxious or calm, worried or positive?
Ask yourself, “What am I believing to feel the way I do
and what do I have to think to believe in what I want?”

2) Be Clear about what it is you want to attract to you.
You are telling the universe what you want to attract to you by
what you think and focus on. 
If you are not clear about your desires you will get fuzzy results.
Write down in detail as much as possible about what you want or
about the feeling you want with the outcome.
It is the outcome that you want to pay attention to, not how you are getting there.

3) Visualize, with high energy feelings (love, excitement), the
outcome you want consistantly everyday, with no attachment to
the outcome, for 26-32 days without skipping a day.
You are planting seeds (intentions), focusing on what you want to create in your life.
Compare it to tending to a garden.
You plant the seed (what you want), then you water it, give it sunlight,
weed around it, and fertilize it (focus or attention).
then you need to trust that your “seed” is doing it’s job growing, (no tension).
Keep weeding (negative philosophy/old beliefs/thinking that doesn’t server you).

There is a time to plant, tend and harvest.
Be patient and trust the process…they don’t happen on the same day.
Keep planting seeds and nourishing them with your attention and focus.

3) Be grateful for what you have at this time.
Be aware of the richness of your life already.
Wanting begets more wanting.
The more you appreciate the what you already have in your life the more
whatever you desire will come forth through that moment of gratitude.
The trick is to be happy now and more happiness will follow.
Be grateful/happy for this moment while playfully desiring more.

If your happiness depends on you getting what you want, then you are
living in fear of not having it and therefore subconsciously thinking about what you
don’t want, negating what you are trying to accomplish.

4) Let go of the thoughts that are not benefiting you. 
Stop the habital thinking that gets you what you don’t want. 
Fear, doubt, procrastination… A positive attitude is a must!
When you remove the negitive thinking and beliefs, you change the way
you see your world and subsequently the events in your life will bring different resuts.

If you are a worrier( praying for what you don’t want), switch to
praying for what you do want.
I know it isn’t easy…you have to break the habit and be consistent and persistent!

Sometimes this is the hardest thing to do because to let go means
you must be responsible for your life and you cannot be a victim.

Some people get attention by creating what they don’t want in their life. 
Negative attention is better than no attention at all.
It may feel uncomfortable doing something new. 
Uncomfortable means you are growing, stretching and doing something you are not familiar with.

5) Change your beliefs. Reframe from thinking old habits.
Ask your self whether what you are believing is true or not.
Whose belief is it? Mom/Dad, religious, cultural, media, peer, political…
Let go of other’s opinions and consider whether they have your best interest in mind,
what is their experience on the subject, do they truly understand your desires? 

Create new beliefs that are a positive expression of who you are
with a Life Coach, therapist, hypnotherapist, or on your own with 
The Work (Bryan Katie), Option (Bruce Di Marsico), using vision boards, audio and
affirmations (done properly) and more.

6) Love yourself…forgive yourself, stop judging and comparing yourself.
You have to be willing to receive and know you are worth whatever it is you want.
Be in the moment of now, loving who you are now, not a memory of who you were.
Every moment you are creating your life for yourself. Create it with Love!

Ask yourself everyday,
“How good can I stand my life to Be if I really love myself?”,
do it often until look yourself in the mirror and love what you see.

 ”It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in
 not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
 It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a
 calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture
 your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is
 not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no
 stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is a sin.”

Who we are shapes our destiny.
Our positive or negative beliefs impact every aspect of our life.
Our beliefs act as filters on a camera, changing how we see the world.
We can choose how we want to see by learning to harness our mind promoting a healthy and fulfilling life.

What we do is based on our identity. Those elements we use to describe ourselves with conviction are our identity, whether they are true or not. We identify with emotions, roles, job/career, metaphors, feed back from past, spirituality, looks, accomplishments, what you are not, the past (not good enough, popular, addict, smart, sexy, fat, loveable, unlovable, confident, smoker, extravert, creative, weak, don’t know enough, unhealthy, over the hill, angry, funny, victim…)
 The biggest problem with most people is we are not conscious of the beliefs that are designing  our identities.

One of our strongest needs within our personality is to make certain that our behavior is consistent with our identity, even if the identity we hold for our self is negative.
That is why we do something even when we know it isn’t good for us like smoking. We see ourselves as a smoker. If we see ourselves as a smoker we must smoke! And we look for ways to make that happen whether we are conscious of it or not. 
The more we give attention to our beliefs, the stronger the neural connection in the brain. It then literally becomes our inner reality and that influences our outer reality. We have to consciously change our inner reality to make our outer reality what we want.
Change how you see yourself and you change your world. Where to start: 
{      Take on a new level of thinking: consciousness instead of unconsciousness
{      Change your attitude from negative to positive: put attention on what you want not what you don’t want
{      Consciously identify yourself to the behavior you want to change
{      Expand your vision of yourself, step outside your comfort zone (what you already know).
{      Be careful what you buy into: labels, judging, expectations
{      Realize: We are not our thoughts; we are the thinker not the thought
{      Believe: I get to determine who I am; I am responsible for my life; There are many choices
{      Question limiting beliefs:
      What do I believe about myself?
Whose belief is it? Parents, Society, Religious…
 Is that who I am or is that just how I am use to acting?
 Am I my past or am I who I want to be now?
   

We are what we believe about all day long!
           
            Your beliefs become your thoughts
            Your thoughts become your words
            Your words become your actions
            Your actions become your habits
            Your habits become your values
            Your values become your destiny

Have you ever found yourself mad at yourself because you are overwelmed and stressed about your work and life? Feeling like there is so much to do and not enough time and it is all your fault because you can’t do it all.  And instead of having compassion for yourself you shame yourself for not being able to handle everything.

Your inner critic starts talking to you like you are a failure, a slouch, weak, lazy, don’t know enough, aren’t good enough, who do you think you are to think you could do it in the first place, your letting everyone down, what are _______ going to think?, etc…

We have somehow come to believe that we “should” be able to have it all, do it all, be everything to everyone and always be happy all at the same time! If we can’t something is wrong with us.

With new technology like computers, cell phones and  faxes…the time it takes to do things have speeded up. If we can do processes more quickly then we “should” be able to do more processes, so bring it on baby.

Who made up the rule we have to do more because we can?
Who made up the rule that we don’t complete our list for the day we are unsuccessful?
Who made up the rule that we have to multi task?
Who made up the rule that we have to get everything right the first time or we are a jerk, looser, or stupid?
Who made up the voice of the inner critic in our head?
What drives us to exhaustion and unhappiness?
Who are you living for? You or them?
What is your self worth? What rules determined your answer? Who was the judge?

Stop and think about what is driving you to think, believe and act the way you do?

What I am concerned about is how we feel about feelings that aren’t pretty or timely.  We believe we shouldn’t feel that way. The stress and suffering comes from thinking that things ”shouldn’t” be the way they “are.”    

Feeling whatever you are feeling in that moment is exactly where your attention should be. You are receiving information/results that
you can now make new choices from to create a life you want.

When you find yourself feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious, stressed…it is actually a great time for learning and growth. Don’t push it away….embrace it and go exploring.

ASK YOURSELF

What am I doing that I don’t want to be doing?

What am I feeling?

What am I believing that is making me feel this way?
(It is not the event, it is the meaning you put on the event that is making you feel the way you do)

What is the meaning you are giving the event?

Is your belief True? If yes, are you absolutely sure?

What can I learn from this feeling and belief(s) about myself?

How do I want to feel?

What do I need to believe about myself, my life, my world to feel that?
…I am capable, loveable, I live in a safe world, I can have peace of mind, I don’t need to solve everyones problems, I am powerful, I know enough, I am worth it…. 

What actions can I take that would be congurent with my new beliefs?
…say no, set boundaries. don’t engage the inner critic, stop worrying, let go of judgments, don’t gossip, practice meditation & yoga, forgive myself and others…..

What are these feelings communicating to you about yourself.

• Are you doing something that your not passionate about, it doesn’t feed your soul and it is depleting you?
• Are you a star trying to fit into a square shape? A big picture person doing detail work, a creative person doing routine…..?
• Are you not living in your fullest expression of yourself, selling yourself short, giving your power away?
• Are you living in fear of what you don’t want instead of what you do want? Worrier? Victim?
• Are you living someone else dream? Are you doing what your parents thought you should do? Being a stay at mom when you really love being a business women?….
• Are you a perfectionist, procrastinator,  critical,
• Are you following made up rules about what it means to be a “Good mother, a good wife, a good lover, an excellent business owner, stellar community member” to get the valadation, reconition and love you need.

I have given you a lot to think about so let me know what you think and feel about being a SuperWomen!  What are the new rules and beliefs?
