1800s Advice and Etiquette for Ladies
If muscles and nerves are over-strained, learn to shirk, somewhat judiciously, but surely. Let reason come to your aid, and compel yourself to take a rest, even in a change of work. The acquiescence and approval of the mind is necessary to rest well. Do whatever you like or do nothing when over-strained, but don't drive yourself with whip and spur.
