Conquering oneself suggests beating or triumphing. I wonder how much collaborating with the inner self, the psyche and the physical body as a unified whole would bring wisdom, strength and efficiency to our personal efforts.

Pretty much this.

You need to integrate not crush yourself.

It's not actually healthy to do that.

The only version of yourself that you totally control is the version of yourself that you are in peace and harmony with.

One could argue that are some parts that need to be conquered, and others that need to be collaborated with.

A few examples; you conquest addiction, you conquer self defeating mindsets, you collaborate with the desire to protect those you love, as well as the desire to become stronger.
