Can I practice meditation if I'm too burnt out to even start?

Yes. Start with 2 minutes. Not 20. Just 2. When you’re burnt out, even small commitments feel overwhelming. Completion matters more than duration. Building trust that meditation won’t drain more energy you don’t have. Once your nervous system learns meditation provides relief instead of demanding performance, you can extend duration.
