chill out
Take it easy
Chill out means to relax or calm down.
It often serves as an imperative to someone who's agitated or overreacting: Chill out, it's not that serious.
More generally, it describes unwinding or taking it easy: We're just going to chill out at home tonight.
The shorter chill carries the same meanings.
