Numerous The early months of the year are traditionally a time for abstinence, introspection, and renewal. This is witnessed in old-time traditions such as New Year鈥檚 Resolutions and fasting for Lent. It is also seen in emerging traditions, such as Dry January or Veganuary. Another emerging tradition has become known as a digital detox. This refers to self-initiated periods of abstinence from using digital devices, especially abstention from social media.
