All Humans Have Habits 

Human beings are creatures of habit. Habits can be good or bad, but they serve a vital function in our everyday lives. Habits are mental energy savers. They operate at an unconscious level in our brains. The more we do “automatically,” without a lot of thinking, concentration, deliberation, etc., the better our brain conserves energy and the more efficiently it operates. 

 So, our brain prefers “autopilot,” because that requires less energy. We will most often think about what is familiar and do what is second nature, even if it isn’t good for us. Bad habits can cause all kinds of problems and can be awfully hard to break, as we all know. But good habits can be just as powerful and ingrained. Someone said, “You create your habits, then your habits create you.” So, creating new, good habits is a worthy goal. And it can definitely be done. 

You Can Rewire Your Brain 

In fact, something amazing happens in your brain when you learn a new habit. You actually change, and “rewire” your brain on a cellular level. Your brain is covered in “neural networks,” connections between brain cells, not unlike a series of roads on a map. The roads used most frequently become highways and carry the most cars. 

The thoughts and behaviors we practice most create the strongest neural networks in our brains. These are our “habits.” 

But, if we begin to practice new thoughts, new behaviors, and new experiences, we can actually create new brain “highways,” new neural networks. This is called “neuroplasticity.” It’s what happens when we create a new habit. We create a new pathway and new brain cell connections in our brain. Soon, our brain defaults to this “new normal,” this new way of thinking feeling, or reacting. You really can rewire your brain! 

You Can Rewire Your Relationship 

And that is part of what we learn and experience in a Hold Me Tight®️ couples retreat. We experience neuroplasticity in action, in real time. How do we do that? We help couples understand how they tend to act and react in love. We help them make sense of what often makes no sense when they conflict. We help them understand those “autopilot” responses that happen in distress and disconnection. Those are often deeply ingrained and can feel impossible to change. (We’ve all been there!) 

 But, when we slow that “cycle” down, when couples experience not just new insights, but new, deeper emotions, in real time, they can create new connections with one another. They experience neuroplasticity in real-time. 

Experience It For Yourself! 

So, couples in a Hold Me Tight®️ couples retreat don’t just hear about closer connection; they experience it firsthand. They create a different relationship, often deeper and more alive than ever before. In attachment science terms, they literally rewire their brains! They form new actions and reactions to one another. Those new “brain highways” become their new normal, the good habits of love that every couple craves. This is not a newfangled theory. This is empirical science, backed by years of research and it’s producing long-term, reliable results.
