Then they figure it out. One of the most important days that I ever had was learning to just shut up. Like, literally, because you see stuff and you want to go, and then it's like reel yourself back. You know, I have no children, but I can only imagine that it's like being a parent where you want to jump in, you want to tell your kid that you're doing it wrong. It's easier this way, but you got to let them struggle and let them figure it out because then that becomes more meaningful to them. And it's more useful because there are the emotions attached to it. If I give you the answer, there is no incentive for you to get excited about the answer. People like to talk about how the brain works and stuff like that, even though we probably don't know how it works, but they talk about the reward, the dopamine reward. When a client executes an exercise correctly for the first time and they know it and they feel it and they get this big whoosh of reward, don't take that away from them because they figured it out. Same thing when you're learning something new or learning something different. It's like when you struggle and struggle and struggle and then you finally figure it out, you're just like, 'way to go, me,' right? And then you're incentivized to do that again and to keep going. So that's where the power lies.
