A little device called Prana, which launches at the end of January, could be of service, provided you’re willing to spend $150.

As Business Insider reports, Prana clips onto clothing at your waistline and alerts you when you’re slouching too much.

Not only does this improve your posture but also helps you avoid muscular skeletal disease, which can come from breathing from only your chest instead of your diaphragm.

As Prana CEO Andre Persidsky explains, not getting a full share of oxygenated air makes people feel anxious and out of breath.

Who knew that breathing better could turn into a New Year’s resolution?
