A sense of struggle is always an invitation to look deeper.
In awakening, struggle ends. That doesn't mean that problems completely cease to arise, but it does mean that when one does arise there is no struggle with regards to dealing with it. The next logical move/action reveals itself in every given moment, so long as there is no imaginary separate person/doer getting in the way of that, and if one is clearly seeing that, all sense of struggle or feeling conflicted will cease.
In clarity, Life gets very simple. The motivations and impetus to action that arise, do so in alignment with values. If I value a clean house, then the means to that arises effortlessly via an impetus to clean it myself or hire a housekeeper. There is no struggle involved in terms of conflict between what I say I want/value and the means to make that happen.
The degree to which you struggle with benign activities of maintenance of that which you value, is actually a really good litmus test for how conscious you are. If you find yourself holding values that are in conflict with your actions, you'd do well to take a deeper look into what's going on there.
