Taiwanese entertainer Wang Li-jen has shared her struggle with a week-long illness, which she initially believed would be a minor cold. The celebrity, who gained attention in March for a bold promotional campaign selling hairdryers, posted on Instagram about her ongoing battle with sickness.
Wang revealed that she is now taking medication four times daily. She described the experience as taxing, noting that the medication leaves her feeling increasingly tired and groggy. Despite the discomfort, she expressed relief that her voice has finally begun to return after a full week of being unwell.
Even if life's pace is fast and the body is tired, dedicating 10 minutes a day to oneself is the best healing time.
This period of illness has led Wang to re-evaluate her approach to work and health. Previously focused on working hard to repay debts, she had relied on her perceived strong constitution. However, her body's recent signals have served as a stark reminder to slow down.
She advised her followers to prioritize self-care, emphasizing the importance of dedicating even ten minutes daily for personal well-being, regardless of life's pace or fatigue. Wang urged others to pay attention to their health and avoid pushing themselves too hard when tired, stressing the need for regular rest.
Don't push yourself when you're tired, remember to rest on time.
