JoyPhrase Entries
By Jeanie Marshall
Grow with the Flow
-Richard F. Cooke
The purpose of the JoyPhrase Campaign was twofold: (1) to replace the disempowering expression "no pain, no gain" with a more empowering one and (2) to lift the consciousness about the life-enhancing use of language. Further information about this campaign is presented in the article, "Let Us Replace this Expression: No Pain, No Gain."
The June 1996 JoyPhrase Campaign began with the June 3 affirmation "I let go of everything that appears to prevent or block joy. I cancel the picture created by the expression, "no pain, no gain." Please read further about our free email affirmations list, which we call the "DailyAffirm List" and the "WeeklyAffirm List," http://www.mhmail.com/AffirmList.html
This article includes the awards given in the June 1996 JoyPhrase Campaign and the June and later entries to the JoyPhrase Campaign. The entries are numbered in the order in which they were received.

CONTINUE TO CREATE EMPOWERING EXPRESSIONS
While we had many wonderful phrases submitted, no one JoyPhrase stood out as the obvious first choice for those voting for their preferences. I have my favorite; others have their favorites. I think that having lots of JoyPhrases is a wonderful idea! We do not all need to have the same number one choice.
Six years after the beginning of this campaign, I noticed an article in a local newspaper reviewing some spa retreats that the author found that "no pain, no gain" is no longer a popular concept. Bravo!
