Lack of willpower/inability to build good habits.
Although physical pain is an acceptable answer, im interested in all types of pain points
Having to work for a living. Though I suppose you want realistic requests?
2 hour daily commute >_>
Back pain :(
I would look into Electronic Muscle Simulators. Just search Amazon. There are dozens of units.
Looks like those things that are advertised on marketing channels to get abs while sitting on a couch:

How are they helpful?

Exercise and relaxing breathing techniques?
Yup, started exercising. Just struggling to stay motivated but its gotta be done. Breathing doesn't really help with back pain, unless I'm missing something?
I've found deep breathing to help control and relax my muscles, which in turn helps with the pain relief.
