You nailed it.

If you think of our brains as a complex electrochemical reaction, the concept of activation energy is in play. And I just think that for some people in some situations their mind doesn’t have the wiring to generate sufficient potential gradient to achieve the activation energy required to motivate action. They can’t just will a thing, they need to rewire their brain first.

Fortunately this is possible, but not easy.
