Two thoughts, KoDude:

1) An old eastern saying about hardship that we use in our local QiGong group...
"Pleasure and Pain are mandatory ... Suffering is optional!"

I take it to mean that moments pass, pleasant or not...and that I only suffer when I try to hold on to pleasure or push away pain.

2) A question: Is the boredom of practicing healthy habits greater or lesser than the discomfort you would feel as a consequence of unhealthy habits?

Every moment is a new choice point, with future consequences. Personaly, I choose health most of the time, and sometimes I choose fun...a good diet and lifestyle with occasional junk food etc.

Oh- PS, Natural Brilliance and Sedona both have techniques for polarities, those might help...
