What Is Your Resilience Costing You?
A short reflection on health, peace, time, and joy—and the cost of measuring only how much you can handle.

I thought I was resilient.
Turns out I was surviving.
And the bill kept coming.
▫️My health.
▫️My peace.
▫️My time.
▫️My joy.
I kept measuring how much I could handle without asking how much it was taking.
Being able to carry the weight doesn’t mean you can afford the cost.
What is your “resilience” costing you?
You don’t have to reach another breaking point to find out.
