## Resource

Whether you're lounging on a beach, exploring a new city, or simply taking a break from your daily routine, finding ways to calm your mind while on holiday is really important for our mental and physical health. We often promise ourselves we’re going to disconnect from day one, but it's not as simple as that.  After all, when we’re at work our brains are constantly processing information, making decisions, solving problems, and dealing with stress. And we don’t just have an on-off switch allowing us to lower the intensity of our brain activity to zero in a split-second. Why is disconnecting from work-related stress and responsibilities so difficult? Is there anything I can do to calm my brain while I’m away? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
