taking it easy
Not pushing yourself
Taking it easy means relaxing or avoiding exertion.
Someone taking it easy might be lounging, recovering from illness, or simply enjoying leisure time: The doctor told me to take it easy for a few weeks.
As a farewell, take it easy wishes someone a calm, stress-free time—roughly equivalent to "relax" or "don't worry about it."
