If you’ve ever lost control of your bladder or worse in public, you know it can be embarrassing. But sometimes, the fear that it could happen again creates a whole new type of anxiety.

The good news is that you can intervene before an accident happens. I talked with Mary Grace Garis at Well+Good about 6 breathwork exercises you can practice to calm your anxiety. If you’re regularly worried about whether you’ll make it in time, I think you’ll find her article helpful.

Be well,
