Why clearing your head on a vacation is hard to do!

No matter how beautiful the weather, or how stunning the atmosphere, it's hard to wind down on a vacation, or even a staycation! Scientists believe they've figured out why we consistently worry about work, life, money, whatever our troubles are.

A study has shown that just as thinking burns energy - so does blocking a thought.

They say that trying to clear your mind and think of nothing is akin to 'stopping a truck on a downhill slope'. This also explains why it's hard to meditate, and why it's tricky to silence those annoying songs that play over and over again in your head.

It's simply tiring to relax and think about nothing.
