What mitvos do you need to force yourself to conform to that you don’t find fullffilling. A mitzvah means a good deed. What constitutes a good deed. Lighting shabbas candles or helping someone doing the right thing in a moral situation. Being good to your fellow man. Treating the stranger fairly and with kindness. These are not hard things these are principles for life that we need to do to create a socioty and self that is aligned with truth, faith, and G-d. Confirming to rules doesn’t make you a principled person. So sorry. G-ds law which is the law of good and evil doesn’t =struggle and “convincing’ yourself they are good by “learning” about it. It’s self understood because morality and kindness is something we all inherently understand. “Don’t eat a kid in it’s mother’s milk” is a concept of doing things in alignment with truth. “Keep the shabbat and make it holy” is a very simple concept aligned with simplistic living. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand simple language and concept that feed the soul. Your talking about convincing yourself about all the laws of conformity. G-d is not a conformist. He gives us principles and guides to help navigate the pittfalls of life. Not rituals. _principles_
