relax

Relaxed means feeling calm and comfortable, not worried or stressed.

When people say they're relaxed, they usually mean they don't have to think about anything urgent or difficult. They might be sitting on a beach, watching a movie, or just hanging out with friends – doing something fun that makes them feel at ease. Some people get relaxed after exercising or practicing yoga, because their minds and bodies are calm and balanced. Others might feel more relaxed in the evenings when they can finally put aside work or school stuff for the day.
