Sisters and brothers, how do you keep your daily prayers consistent?

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I've been struggling with maintaining my salah lately-it's been maybe three weeks or even two months since I prayed regularly. Every time I tell myself I'll start praying again, I just don't follow through. I feel completely unmotivated and honestly, just lazy, even though I know that's not a good excuse. I try to make up for it by reading Quran, but then I only manage like one ayah. Why does my heart want to pray so much, but my body just won't cooperate? I'm really tired of feeling this way and I want to fix it. I've never been super religious, but I've always wanted to read and understand the Quran, so this year I started, but only kept it up for the first month. What tips do you have to motivate yourself to pray every day?

Try listening to a short tafsir podcast on your commute. Understanding the meaning behind the verses I was struggling to read made my heart feel more connected and eager for salah.

I struggle with this too. Making dua for guidance really helps me, and having a prayer buddy keeps me accountable.
