She Prioritizes Self-Care

Riley stresses the importance of self-care. "If I'm filming and I have a day off, I'll just sit at home, read, take baths, chill out, and not go anywhere. I love the beach; my husband loves the beach. It's weird, I grew up in California and I've only surfed, like, once. I kind of grew up half my life in Hawaii as well; there's not really big waves on the side of the island that I lived on so it was never really like a thing that I started," she told Elle.

She Loves Coffee

Riley relies on an occasional pick-me-up. "I'll drink coffee; I'll drink matcha green tea. I can't have too much because I'm like already anxious in general so if I have a bunch of coffee I'll tweak and then like, have anxiety. And then I'll crash. So if I have a long day I actually won't drink caffeine," she told Elle.

She Does Yoga

Riley revealed to The Blonde and the Brunette that yoga is the only exercise she likes. "It's the only thing I enjoy that's active, I absolutely hate working out," she confessed. "Yoga trains the proprioception and visual systems to improve balance. Depending on the pose, cues are sent to focus, for instance, on the foot rooted to the ground. By concentrating in an attempt to maintain contact, the big toe, little toe and heel form a tripod of sorts, which in turn helps focus the proprioception portion of balance," says the Mayo Clinic.

She Doesn't Obsess Over Diet

What is the "best diet trick" or advice Riley has ever received? "Not putting too much attention on that kind of thing," she told The Blonde and the Brunette. "I feel like people who put too much attention end up unhappy.  Everything in moderation I suppose."

She Is Spiritual

Keough explained to InStyle that she considers herself a spiritual person, describing her pull towards her career path as "a deeper kind of sense of knowingness," and a "kind of a spiritual thing." She doesn't identify as a Buddhist, but studies the religion and considers it being a "participant of this world and whatever we're doing here." She added to Mr. Porter: "It's really important for me to be connected, somehow, spiritually," she says. "I spend a lot of time doing things that are grounding. My body is really important to me because I have Lyme disease, so I'm trying to take care of myself."

She Is Present

Riley tries to "not be an anything-oholic" and approaches things with moderation. "I'm really consciously trying to be present, and not use anything as any kind of escape, and be cognizant of when I'm doing that," she told InStyle.

Live in Gratitude

"I'm just generally trying to be grateful for everything at the moment, trying to operate in love, and keep my heart open, and give and receive love. And not in a woo-woo way, because I definitely have hard days, and all kinds of pain and suffering and all that. But I think when you realize that's part of it, and your expectation isn't to just be feeling joy, that's been a real shift for me in finding those moments and things to smile about," Riley told InStyle.
