Do you feel a closer connetcion to G-d and the Jewish people when you do? I personally think that is the only reason to start observing a mitzvah you weren't brought up observing. Done for any other reason, I believe, it will be a chore and you will eventually either stop or resent your religion for it.
I'm not sure if I do; I haven't tried it! Though I think my relationship with my religion is healthy enough that I won't start resenting it due to this practice. If it's not working for me, I'll stop.
