Noticing that learning/synthesizing is a felt physical experience that I have previously identified as uncomfortable/painful. I need some time & attention to the physical experience to integrate the learning.

Still learning myself how to make this more automatic and generally pleasurable in my own practice, but I always think about that concept. It becomes less about discipline (though of course that's still part of it), but about who/what they decided they were going to be.
My theory is to be accepting of that unpleasant sensation/resistance that comes up before practice and go into your practice. Then feeling the pleasure that comes post-practice. I think it's a very physical experience and I believe athletes eventually conditioned pleasure.

So in a sense a huge part of the motivation comes from the expectation of the physical pleasure as a reward post-practice. When the anticipation of this pleasure is stronger than the perceived/expected pain, it leads to action. Enough cycles leads to conditioning. I like it!

Yep! And over time there will be no pain. Just a cue.
