Dispel the thought that New Year resolutions are never kept. Perhaps this was true in the past, but that doesn't mean it is the truth today.
Give up feeling embarrassed at the idea of making and discussing New Year resolutions. Saying things like "Yeah, I know I said the same thing last year..." or "I know it's silly, but..." sets you up to fail. You are allowing yourself to disregard what ever it is you resolve to do in the first place. It is not silly or stupid.
