Three Ways to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions
Even though the new year can be exciting and full
of possibility, it can also be pretty stressful. You
might be saying things like, "Why don't any of my
pants fit?" or "Why am I still so disorganized?”
Enter the New Year's resolution.
About 45 percent of Americans make
them. We imagine ourselves in that
smaller pant size or in a tidy space. It's
exhilarating.
The good news: A Journal of Clinical
Psychology study found that people
who make resolutions are 10 times
more likely to change their behavior
than those who don't.
The bad news: Short-term urges can trump
long-term plans. Another study reports that 54
percent give up on their resolutions within six
months, and only 8 percent ultimately succeed by
the end of the year.
So what can we do to ensure our success?
Here are three suggestions to simplify your process:
1. Work on One Thing at a Time
We live in a society where more is better. But
when it comes to goals, less is usually more. For
example: In business, even though 64 percent of
executives believe they have too many priorities,
companies with fewer priorities show more growth.
So take a page from the late, great Stephen
Covey, author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People,” and put first things first. Instead of picking
four resolutions that you'll abandon, choose one that
will give you the biggest payoff. This doesn't mean
you can't work on more than one resolution per
year, it just means you shouldn't focus on more than
one at a time.
2. Translate Your Resolution Into Specific
Behaviors
Keeping resolutions usually means replacing old,
bad habits with new, better ones. People who
successfully change their habits achieve something
called "habitual automaticity" -- performing the new
habit without having to think about it. In one study,
researchers tried to improve participants' dental
habits. All participants were told to floss more, given
floss, and shown how to use it. Participants who
planned exactly when and where they
would floss were more successful at
changing their habits than those who didn't.
So, break your resolution into specific
behaviors and put them on a timetable. For
example, to get to the fitness center
regularly instead of sleeping late and
lounging around in your pajamas, join a
fitness class and schedule the time on your
calendar. Before you know it, you'll be
going without even thinking about it.
3. Practice Every Day
Research has shown that daily practice allows
people with average talent to achieve extraordinary
things. The best marathon runners, for example,
don't show physiological differences in lung capacity
or muscle. The difference lies in how much each
runner trains in the weeks leading up to the
marathon.
For your resolutions, the amount and quality of
daily practice you choose will be proportionate to the
level of improvement you

will see. Period. So if
you're not working every SEEKING SEABURY TALENT
day to, for example, curb
your smoking habit, you NEW PHOTO DIRECTORY
won't get long-term

results.
So in 2015, keep

things focused. Pick one
resolution at a time.
CALENDAR
Make it specific and real.
Practice it every day. And CENTER FOR SPIRITUALITY
every day, you'll be one

your resolution a reality. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Kindergarten Visits
We will be bringing in a
photographer in January to take
professional photos of all Residents
for the directories. As you well
know the photo quality varies from
person to person and we are looking
to upgrade the quality of the
directories. There will be a notice
with dates available to come and get
a new photo taken. Keep a look out
on Channel 918 and in
your in-house
mailboxes.
The kindergarten students from
Laurel School have been coming to
Seabury for over 20 years, and we
would like this intergenerational
tradition to continue.
Please consider spending an hour
with these bright young minds,
once a month. The visit consists of
a seasonal story, craft project and
snack. The children enjoy meeting
and interacting with you.
Please call Jodi (860) 243-6035

Beyond the Plate
Happy New Year to everyone from your
Culinary Department!
The past six months of 2014 for me were both
exciting and busy. Some of our most recent
events in December were The Holiday Reception
for Residents which gave my team and I the
chance to display some really nice food selections
and be creative on a large scale. Then the
Gingerbread Brunch with all of the families and
children that provided the opportunity to decorate
their very own gingerbread man. Our special Hanukkah dinner to
help celebrate the occasion was lovely, and the Christmas Eve gala
and the New Year’s Eve gala will be a huge success, and we enjoy
these opportunities to give you an evening of good food with
pleasant company and atmosphere.
Thank you for letting us serve you!
2015 is a brand new year that will feature an abundance of
special events and food. We will be bring back our bi-monthly Fine
Dining adventures with foods throughout the world as well as our
monthly special menus and get-togethers.
My staff and I are looking forward to ringing in the New
Year with you!
-Chef Eugene and your Culinary Team
Help Wanted!
The Seabury Chapel Altar Guild is
looking for a few people to help with
weekly services. Two of the principle
Guild members are retiring and
everyone is slowing down a bit.
We need your help so that services
can continue for Seabury residents in
Independent Living, The Views and the
Health Center. We need people to
help set up for services, which can be
done the day before, and help during
services as well. The jobs can be
shared, so if you are able to commit to
even 45 minutes once each month,
that would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact Chaplain Bob
at (860) 243-6085.

Seabury Monthly
Center for Spirituality: The Power of Forgiveness
The guest writer this month is Deacon Doug Engwall.
This year my holiday season was brightened by an unexpected act of forgiveness granted to me by my niece.
The incident causing the hurt had occurred five years ago over a shared summer cottage. At that time, I had used my
best logic to explain why our families had grown too large to continue to share this small space. I thought the matter
had been settled and didn’t realize that hurt feelings lingered. An email arrived around Thanksgiving from my niece who
had decided that the hurt had lasted long enough. She offered me forgiveness. I immediately wrote back thanking her
and apologizing for my lack of sensitivity. My lack of awareness of the hurt shocked and saddened me. I thought of all
the occasions we had been together over the last five years without taking the time to clear the air. This act of
forgiveness was the best gift I received over the holidays. It reminded me of the power of forgiveness, beautifully
described in this passage, is from Brother Ramon's Way of Love (1995).
If forgiveness does not have free play among us, then we have seriously to question whether we have truly
received the divine forgiveness that melts the heart. It is not that God withholds forgiveness, but that we erect barriers,
close doors, harden our hearts, so that we are not capable of receiving, and therefore offering to others, true
forgiveness.
A friendship can only mature if differences and divergent views and temperaments are acknowledged,
appreciated and allowed for. Otherwise estrangement takes place, turning to alienation, with the loss of spontaneity and
peace. If we do not forgive, then we cannot be forgiven.
As we enter into a new year, I can think of no better time to seek and grant forgiveness. Often, as in my case,
the other party may not know that your feelings were hurt, and it does take courage to start the conversation. All the
world’s religions teach us not to bear hurt and resentment that may turn into anger. A Buddhist teaching says this
clearly. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one
who gets burned.
So my invitation for the New Year is that we practice more acts of random forgiveness. This may lead to a
January thaw that will make all our winters just a bit warmer.

FOOTNOTES FROM
THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE
Happy 2015
Now that the cold snowy weather is upon us, it is hard to
bundle up and venture out in the wind and cold. The Library
Committee welcomes you to the cozy and warm library. In
the library you can browse through the collection, pick a book
from the stacks, and settle into one of the comfortable chairs.
In the quiet surroundings of the library you can pass the time
lost in your book. You will find articles in the various
magazines on the magazine rack to enjoy.
Perhaps a long story in the New Yorker or
a discovery in the National Geographic will
meet your fancy. How about a mystery to
pass the time of day? The newly acquired
books can be found on the table by the
window. So come in and explore and
