My best friend (who unfortunately killed himself a year ago) used to say
"Be easy" all the time. I can't hear, see or think that statement without

telling someone to stay easy is a shorthand way of telling them to stay
achieving without great effort and without getting in their own way. When someone keeps their mind free from worries or

great effort, even when life presents them with unexpected challenges
and difficulties.
By definition, "easy" means:
1. achieved without great effort; presenting few difficulties.
2. (of a period of time or way of life) free from worries or problems.
