I often think back to a scene in BoJack Horseman, when he starts jogging and collapses at the top of a hill. A veteran runner sees him and says:

"It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day — that’s the hard part. But it does get easier".

The gym, self-care, flossing.The list goes on, but that scene really clicked for me.

The counterpoint to this is Greg LeMond's (possibly apocryphal) quote about cycling training: "it never gets easier, you just go faster." LeMond is the only American to win the Tour de France.

In regards to flossing, I used to never do it, until a new dentist told I oughta or my teeth would fall out in my 20s. I was 16 when that happened, and I have flossed every single day since. Now I can't brush my teeth without flossing. The process just feels incomplete without it.
