While many folks rebel against the pressure of New Year’s resolutions, each New Year is often seen as a time of new beginnings, and many people view 12:01 a.m. as a time to make a fresh start.

This year, 18 famous faces gave UsMagazine.com their New Year’s resolutions, and whether or not you’re part of the group that vows to lose weight, exercise more, eat better, quit smoking, or practice better money managing, I think many of these celebrities’ resolutions are things many of us would do well to strive for.

While some celebrities like Samantha Harris, Kim Kardashian, Ashlee Simpson, and Tatyana Ali plan to strive to work on friendships and family relationships, others, like Irina Shabayeva, Corbin Bleu, Mark Indelicato, Shanna Moakler, Hailey Glassman, Miley Cyrus, and Adam Lambert have vowed to look inward and work more on personal improvement and enrichment.

My favorite of the celebrity resolutions, however, is Bill Murray‘s: The legendary funnyman, who turns 60 this year, simply states “To try to remember to look down on myself and realize how good I’ve got it.”

It sounds like the simplest, but really, I think it could be the toughest.

What about you? Have you decided on a New Year’s resolution or two for yourself this year? Maybe you’ve thought of a few you’d suggest to your favorite (or, least favorite, haha) celebrity?
