We can train ourselves to enjoy meditation, or actually any kind of activity. Perception is not-self, it depends on conditions, and if we cultivate the right conditions, then our perception will change accordingly. The ability to turn ones perception around has been called 'Ariya-Iddhi' (Noble Psychic Power) by the Buddha. The enlightened Arahants can see the attractive as disgusting, or the revolting as delightful, or they can percieve it as neither repulsive nor pleasant, but just observe it with equanimity. Once we develop that skill, even only to a limited extend, our life will be much easier: Just imagine you perceive doing the dishes, or cleaning the toilet, or any required chores, as being fun - all tough duties are suddenly very easy! Just imagine you perceive the experience of breathing in and out as exceedingly delightful, even blissful - breath meditation will be so easy! By noticing how much our perception can be deliberately changed, we also undermine the delusion that perception (saññā) is self.
