Anya Taylor-Joy starts her day with a dream journal and YouTube meditations, incorporating a disciplined routine to manage her demanding career. Her mornings begin at 5:30 a.m. with journaling, followed by meditations and listening to a daily spiritual text. This self-care regimen helps her navigate a busy schedule that includes preparing for major film roles.
Her well-being practices extend beyond morning rituals. Taylor-Joy is an avid reader, often carrying multiple physical books, and counts Deborah Levy and Olivia Laing among her favorite authors. She is also developing Bella Mackie's book "How to Kill Your Family" into a Netflix series and co-produces with her company, Lady Killer, established in 2024. These ventures highlight her ambition to be involved in the creative process beyond acting.
Taylor-Joy incorporates physically challenging activities into her life, such as ballet (which she traded for techno raving at 15), boxing, and the Wim Hof breathing method for cold exposure. She views activities like boxing as a form of meditation, emphasizing focus and presence. These varied interests showcase her dynamic personality and her ability to find calm amidst chaos.
Looking ahead, Taylor-Joy, who will turn 30, anticipates her next decade will focus on deeper engagements, contrasting with the adventure-filled twenties. Her relationship with her husband provides security, enabling her to take greater creative risks. She often seeks out challenging situations, finding joy in environments others might consider miserable, a sentiment evident during her "Dune" shoot.
