Got rid of my car a few years ago. Believe it or not I literally never fret over whether to drive or not.

It is in fact a liberating feeling. I used to sometimes feel sort of down and weak etc. and think "I guess I'll just drive". but it's not that I've lost that option to take it easy and now it's occasional drudgery. Somehow not having that easy option makes me not need it either. I have days when I'm not 100%. But I've learned that I can cut way back on my usual effort and the impact on my commute time is negligible. And the ride is not at all taxing.

Just my personal perspective. I'm not saying everybody can be car free. But there's no car in my household. My elderly mother lives with me and I do all of what we need as far as shopping, etc. with a cargo trailer.
