Kind of like an experiment I saw once. They had different groups hold their hands in ice water- the first group was told the average time was 15 seconds, the second 30 seconds, the third 2 whole minutes.
Average time for the first group was 19.5 seconds. Average time for the second group was 40.6 seconds. The average time for the third group was 1 minutes and 45 seconds.
Pain is so much a mental game. You can accomplish a lot more setting up unrealistically high goals for yourself (as long as you don't mind failure). A "realistic" goal is often too low.
