I would just add that rather than "ignoring the pain", look at it as focusing your attention elsewhere, e.g. on other people, animals, nature, movement, music, an engaging and enjoyable task like creating art, etc. In other words switch your attention from yourself to outside yourself. Engage your mind elsewhere. It takes some practice, but like any skill becomes easier over time.
