I Have Mental Issues

Don't we all, but my issues are really stupid. I love bikes. I have 6. I love commuting. When I had my previous job, I was riding around 30 miles a day. I now live 1 mile from work and I can't bring myself to jump on the bike and ride. Basically, what's happened is my morning commute is 1 mile with 400 feet elevation gain. I leave my front door and start climbing until I reach work. Everything I enjoy about riding is gone. No fast descents, no moderate speed flats, nothing except a giant climb. I don't know how to get over this mental block. The descent really doesn't make up for it, because it only lasts a couple of minutes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get over this mental hurdle?
