Yes but I would add 1) a tiny bit of cheat for self awareness. like if you REALLY don't want to go, you don't have to. But you REALLY have to NOT want it and 2) making it fun just changes the threshold so much. Commenter above indicated Rollerblading - it was the same for me. I can Rollerblade every day without having to convince myself, that is powerful.

But you do have a point and it is strong.

"Just Go" irrespective of how you feel about it, it's like "Going to Work" - like you get dressed, you drive there, you do the thing ... similar.

If you really don't want to go, just show up and do the little you can. Showing up is the hardest part. After showing up, you'd often find you want to do more than you originally anticipated you were capable of.
