Soft Life
Can either refer to a lifestyle or a period in your life where you're generally (but not entirely) stress-free and have minimal obligations to meet. Often involves engaging in healthy routines, hobbies and personal passions.
When you live the soft life, you're at the top of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid, which can either be the result of being affluent or under special circumstances that allows one to flourish (see example below).

I was living the soft life back in 2020 and 2021. While covid was a major stressor to many people's lives, the combination of remote schooling + lighter course load + job layoffs + gov't money (e.g. stimulus checks, CERB) resulted in a relatively stress-free lifestyle, where I could concentrate more on my passions (music & photography) and less on studying or working. Minute stressors still existed, but in the grand scheme of things, it was a calm and carefree life that lasted for two years.
