Daniel L. Frustration with pain
Good stuff, Daniel, thank you! You said, "You’re demonstrating to your pain that you’re not afraid of it. In fact, when you push through it, it’s a cause for celebration." This reminds me of Kanhamen's notion that we all have an experiencing self and a remembering self. If I understand him correctly, ending the experience with a good feeling means we are much more likely to remember the entire experience positively. What a great way to build motivation for next time!

We could also add a celebratory "Yay for me!" at the height of the experience. That might enhance the good memory even more.
