New Year's Resolutions may be a tired tradition for some, but they also offer a helpful chance to hit reset on a few of the habits you've picked up, or push harder on some you wished you had.

In the spirit of social shame as a motivational tool, we put out a shout for reader's resolutions via Facebook and Twitter, and now we're publishing some in the hope that a bit of public acknowledgement helps them stick. 

To add to the encouragement factor, we're also including some pictures of fireworks from Sydney and London's NYE celebrations, because, well, Boom.
