roll with it
Go with flow
Roll with it means to accept circumstances as they come and adapt without resistance.
The image is of moving with momentum rather than against it—like a boxer rolling with a punch to reduce its impact.
The schedule changed at the last minute, but we just rolled with it.
Often appears as advice to stay flexible when plans go awry.
