Take sth lightly

means to not treat something as seriously as you should — to ignore the importance or the weight of a situation.
Examples:

1- She finally gathered the courage to tell someone she wasn’t doing well,
but they changed the subject and said, “You’ll be fine.”
In that moment, she realized they had taken her feelings lightly,
and it hurt more than she expected.

Get your night back

to take control of your evening again and choose rest instead of scrolling or staying up too late

Example:
Get back your night.” Not by staying awake out of revenge… but by choosing rest out of respect for yourself.

One thing at a time

Not my finest moment

is a polite, gentle way to admit that you didn’t act your best — maybe you made a mistake, got emotional, felt embarrassed, or didn’t handle a situation well.

Examples:

1- He spilled coffee on himself right before an important meeting
and then accidentally called his boss “Mom.”
Definitely not his finest moment.

2- She snapped at a friend because she was overwhelmed.
Later, she apologized and said,
“That wasn’t my finest moment.

Second nature

it means you can do it easily and automatically — without thinking — because you’ve done it many times. It becomes natural, familiar, almost instinctive.

Examples:

1- There was a time when she had to think about every single verb tense. But now, after months of practice, forming sentences in English feels second nature.

2- At first, she had to remind herself to speak kindly to herself. It felt strange, even uncomfortable.
But slowly — with practice — compassion became second nature: a quiet habit she didn’t have to force anymore.

Don't take it for granted.

means to truly appreciate it — to recognize that it’s valuable, not automatic, and not guaranteed.

Examples

1- Every time someone presses play on this podcast — from a corner of this planet, on a bus, during a walk, or in the middle of a heavy day — that’s something I don’t take for granted. Because with so many voices in the world, you still choose to spend these minutes with me, and that choice and that connection mean a lot.

2- When she understood a sentence in English, she used to struggle with,
She didn’t take it for granted — because every bit of progress is a quiet victory.

Hit different

means something feels unusually strong, special, or meaningful — different from the usual. It affects you in a deeper way than expected.

Examples:

1- She watched a movie without subtitles, and halfway through, she realized she was understanding everything. That moment hit different — like quiet proof that she was growing.

2- Someone told her, “You deserve good things.” She had heard that sentence many times before. But on that particular night,
it hit different because she was finally ready to believe it.

High-key

means openly, clearly, and obviously — not secretly or quietly.

Examples:

1- She acted calm during the meeting, but she high-key felt hurt by the comment

and needed a moment afterward to breathe.

2- He pretended he didn’t care about the results. But he high-key checked his email every five minutes.
