Parents -- Its cultural. They're Indian, I'm Indian American. Square breathing and other kinds of breathwork are maybe more commonly discussed as a result.

Practice: Here's where my American-ness comes in. I've been using headspace and the Wim Hof method in the evenings and morning as well as yin yoga which is way slower than the vinyasa/cardio yoga I used to do. Sometimes I use headspace even in a lyft or during air travel

It honestly still drives me insane from time to time to be slowing down but when I (rarely still) manage to break through my frustration it changes my mood and approach.
