Hehe... another insight... just doing the isometric exercise also lets you become more resistive to the pain, even resistive to the pain of reorganizing your thoughts so that you can focus on hitting the new goal/task.
Also, the discomfort of doing the isometric, in my opinion, totally swamps out the discomfort of reorganizing your thoughts to tackle the new task, so you are in some kind of pain either way, but at least you trick yourself into thinking that you are feeling pain because of the isometric and not just because you are feeling the pain from working so hard to reorganize your brain and thoughts to take on the new task.
Reminds me of the trick of breaking your finger so that you don't feel so much the pain of having your leg being operated on.... or something like that I remember from some movie...
