I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this?

like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way

I usually tell myself to “suck it up”. Especially if it’s something I know I will benefit from.
Makes me think of penis in mouth
If that is what one frequently sucks, one probably would think that.
I don’t sick enough of it these days
Well suck it up
