In an act of overcoming oneself, we are called to prayer; without it, you cannot overcome yourself. You can't live on your feelings, because your feelings don't matter. You do something to please God, to practice virtue, but you don't practice virtue to get rid of feelings. That's selfishness. You practice virtue to be like Jesus, and then you gain merit.
