I started weight training with an intent to modify my thought processes surrounding physical sensations (specifically to help with hypochondria). It seems reasonably effective: it provides a great "anxiety sink" -- I can blame any mild and transient feeling on weightlifting recovery -- and it seems to help with developing a deeper mind-body connection/synergy. I imagine yoga might have similar outcomes.
