The conscious mind is weak and will power alone is a laughable force, because it is an illusion. You have to use both logic and emotion. Logic when emotion is weak and emotion when logic fails. For me, it is about tricking your mind into being completely convinced there is no stopping the coming suffering (exercise, pain, whatever). You can call that habits (it is) but how you form and think of the habit is different if you are a procrastinator. I have broken bones and dealt with suffering like Bunnies (not as acutely extreme). There is a peculiar thing analytical people do with suffering and pain and it can be counterproductive. The overanalysis of it and trying to logic it all out. To cope through total understanding. Some of the time it is just easier to use and manipulate your own emotion, this can have a profound effect on reprogramming the brain back to a more normal state compared to trying to reason it all out from a mental perspective on recovery.
