Welcome to the Mindset and Motivation Podcast, one of the top motivational podcasts in the world.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we come out with a short to the point.

No BS episode to help make massive changes in your mind and transform you from who you are now to who you want to be.

My name is Rob Dyle and the podcast starts now.

Today what we're going to talk about is going to be a short episode and I'm going to talk about how to deal with stress, how to handle stress.

And I saw this video not too long ago with a rabbi and he talks about stress and he talks about lobsters.

And you might not think that the two of those would make any sense to talk about on the same sentence.

But a lot of people think that stress is a bad thing. They think that stress is something that really just messes up their whole day.

But stress, they don't realize stress can actually be a tool for growth.

And then he talks about lobsters and says, do you know how lobsters grow?

So if you don't know how lobsters grow, lobsters are actually a soft animal that lives inside of a hard shell that doesn't expand.

So the shell itself does not expand. It grows the shell.

And then what happens is after a while, once it grows too large for the shell, it'll be uncomfortable.

It'll be really hard for it to move around.

And the lobster is still growing inside of the shell, but it's not.

So it starts to get to a point where there's too much stress and it has to get out of the shell.

And so what does the lobster do? It goes into the rocks to protect itself and it grows a new shell.

And that shell, it grows into it and it's a larger shell so the soft animal can move around for a little while.

But then after a while, that shell becomes too confining.

And it becomes so confining that it has to do the exact same process.

Again, it has to go back into the rocks and it has to break the shell and get out of the shell and regrow another one.

And on average, an average lobster I did my research within its first five to seven years of life
