Have a hobby. A hoppy enables you to take your mind off of the stressor, at least for a short while. Take a holiday or mini-vacation. A mini-vacation can be as simple as going to a movie — but make sure that it is not one that will make you feel worse. Write things down. By writing things down you can see what stressors you have control of and can work on. Have a pet. Choose the right pet — not a tarantula, but


a devoted dog like a shih tzu. Meditation. This works well for some people. Music. I’m not so sure about some rap music, but it can


take your mind off of the stressor for a time. If you don’t manage stress, it will manage you and you


won’t like the results. Next issue we’ll talk about a very close cousin to stress and that has a lot in common.

Dupont has been an aircraft maintenance engineer and commercial pilot in Canada, the United States and Australia. He is the past president and founding member of the Pacific Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Association. He is a founding member and a board member of the Maintenance and Ramp Safety Society (MARSS).
