I think being happy about disciplining yourself is one thing and a pretty tough thing to apply on a consistent basis. Maybe it's really hard to think ahead while you are feeling really pressured and just want to box yourself into something that you can be comfortable with and then apply it as a routine. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but if you like to sit there and think about it like I do, then maybe you will always want to keep on making some improvements for yourself.
I'm starting to appreciate getting past all this mind over matter stuff. It's true that tolerating pain might get life threatening if you're overdoing it, so there is a certain point your body will just naturally force you to shut off.
I just think trying to reach these peak limits is pretty cool and worth trying to surpass them on a daily basis. It's almost not even being human.
