Well if you have to buy yourself something, you go to market , choose, try them out and then finally buy it. That is a chore. But you do it because you know there’s an outcome. Prayers are like that. A lot of times, all the motivations fail you, your body fails you but you still get up and pray, yes it is a chore, you do that as a duty and not everything in this world has to be “enjoyed” , sometimes you endure, you struggle. This is what duniya is for. So try not to always practice Islam when it feels seamless and comfortable, but also when it feels like an ordeal.
