1. She Takes Me Time

Emma prioritizes self-care, starting the day with it. "It's so important to set yourself up for the day," she explained Harper’s Bazaar in 2021. "I cannot wake up without having my coffee and my me-time."

2. Sleep Over Everything

Emma chooses rest over everything. "I'm very easy on myself with diet and exercise. I want to be healthy, and I want to do a good job, but I never put pressure on myself because there are so many more important things, like sleep,” Emma told the Zoe Report. "To me, sleeping is more important than working out."

3. Exercise

Emma works out with trainer, Andrea Orbeck. "Our sessions are an hour, focusing mostly on arms, abs, and ass-the all-important three A's,” she told Shape. “I started working out regularly when I was living in New Orleans shooting American Horror Story: Coven several years ago. I really fell in love with the food there. To counter all I was eating, I worked out more. It was a great balance.

4. Do Yoga

Emma loves yoga. “I also do yoga. I usually take classes with a friend,” she says. When she was in New Orleans she would “have fried-chicken sliders at night and then go to my yoga class the next morning,” she told Shape.

5. Eat When You Want

"With my diet, I do what feels good for me at the time," Emma dished to Shape about her approach to diet. "I try not to say that I won't eat something. Instead, I stay in tune with my body and my mind, and I think, What do I feel like eating?"

6. Do Pilates

"I love Pilates. I feel very energized and centered when I walk out the door afterward.I tried to get into running, but it didn't work for me. Pilates is something you take your time at, and it makes me feel very clear,” Emma told Shape. She trains with Nonna Gleyzer at Body by Nonna. “I can see my shape transform within a couple of sessions,” she maintains. “That's good because I'm that person who, after one class, lifts up her shirt and says, 'Where are my abs?' I want results!”

7. Eat Healthy

Emma starts her day with Moon Juice Spirit Dust, “a fun way” to begin the morning, she says. “I also drink iced coffee even when it's freezing outside because hot coffee doesn't wake me up.” For breakfast, she likes eggs and bacon and toast. “I adore classic breakfast foods,” she says. “For lunch, I'll do a chopped salad with avocado, chicken, and tomatoes. Dinner is a turkey burger, or salmon with teriyaki or ponzu sauce, and brown rice with broccoli. I need snacks, particularly when I'm working. Lately I've become obsessed with seaweed. And chips and guacamole make me so happy! I also love cupcakes, ice cream, and Sidecar Doughnuts. Sometimes I bring sweets for everyone at work as an excuse to eat them."

8. Read

"Reading is my form of self-care and meditation,” Emma explains. “I set aside at least 20 minutes a day for it. Sometimes that turns into 30 minutes, an hour, two hours. There are so many books on my dining room table right now that I can't use it for eating. I go to the store and buy every book I want to read for the next few months and put them on the table.”
