mellow out
Become more relaxed
Mellow out means to relax, calm down, or become less tense.
Someone might mellow out after a stressful day, or you might tell an agitated person to mellow out: Just mellow out, it's not that serious.
The phrase suggests easing into a calmer, more laid-back state—often with the help of music, company, or substances.
