How do you trick your mind to ignore the pain

I love it as the first post suggests. Because I know it’s me getting better / fitter etc.
Also I imagine myself squeezing something out of me instead of banging to get something more out of. Does that make sense? There’s always a little bit more. just squeeze in slowly but firmly. Instead of trying to go up and down in effort frantically.
I dunno it helps. The more you do it over the years the more you get accustomed
