How do you trick your mind to ignore the pain

I am always trying to slow down my breathing and take some really deep breaths. It usually lowers my hr a couple beats and then I know everything is alright. Of course there is also “nothing box” - you know you are in pain and muscles ache, but nothing bad is going on with your body so you can relax and embrace this situation. When it really hurts I am thinking that I have paid a lot of money for all the stuff that allows me to train, so bailing out would be wasted money and I would not be worthy of my bike and trainer and I will have to sell everything if I not finish the workout;)
