Make them, break them or don’t make them at all.

Celebrities reveal their promises to themselves for 2021.

April Rose Pengilly and Sharon Johol.

April Rose Pengilly

To stand up for what I want and deserve, and try to be less of a people pleaser.

Sharon Johal

To really embody the mantra “too blessed to be stressed!”. I’ve realised I’ve spent a lot of my life worrying about things that I have no control over, there is no point doing that because things can literally change overnight and nothing really matters in the end as we have learnt this year, I just want to enjoy the journey!

Oh I’ve had so many great NYEs. I know people say it’s a bit overrated but they obviously aren’t throwing a good enough party. One year I celebrated in London, that was fun. Last year we had a party at my place and will probably do the same this year. One year I slept. Really depends on my mood but I loved them all!

I’ve never made a New Year’s Resolution. But I shall right now. Um … to eat less mushrooms!

Samantha Jade

To be better. I always think you can be better

Graace

It would for sure be travelling more (if COVID- safe, of course).

Samantha Harris

Take things as they come and be grateful for everything you have.

Alex Dyson

To crowd surf at a DJ set again. If I have to give everyone in the audience hospital grade PPE then I will god dammit.

Alex Dyson.

Lynne McGranger – Home and Away actor

To continue to stay as happy as I am, to try and be a little kinder, to love and appreciate this wonderful, blessed life that I have.

Kalyn Ponga – footballer

I never make resolutions. Every year I say I am going to do this and that and I never do. Maybe less phone time but I won’t do it so I probably shouldn’t say that.

Matty J

I’d like to produce a TV show or maybe just a one-off special. I don’t know what the concept will be – it could be an extension of some of the skits I’ve been shooting for social media. But I’d love to work with Laura (partner Laura Byrne) and make something happen next year … stay tuned.

Sonia Kruger

To do something useful and invent carb free carbs.

Laura Dundovic

I learnt a little Croatian growing up so during COVID I started working hard on that. It would be nice to be fluent by 2021.

Courtney Miller

My New Year’s Resolution is to not be late! It’s not that I’m always late, it’s that I’m never early. So my New Year’s resolution is to be more early to things than late … go figure.

Matt Okine

I need to stop eating laksa. I’m absolutely obsessed with Grandma’s Laksa House out the back of the Kauri Foreshore Hotel in Glebe. I’m there literally once a week. That’s too much. I sweat coconut milk in my sleep.

Ed Halmagyi, Better Homes and Gardens

I resolve never to make resolutions on New Year’s. Make them on the days when the inspiration takes you, not the champagne and circumstance

Sam Frost

To get home to Melbourne to see my family as often as possible.

Tim Franklin

To be less task orientated.

Sam Frost.

Tim Franklin

Shane Withington

To celebrate the ordinary, rejoice in the everyday, and to be aware of the differing circumstances that exist for others.

Johanna Griggs

To never take any of the things that 2020 has taught us for granted … and to always be grateful for having a loving family, good friends, our health, a great job, and being able to travel.
