  Comments:
I know there is already an entry of 自愛, but this exp. is so fixed I feel it should have its own entry.

Some ex. I got from real letters, written by Japanese native speakers:
「季節の変わり目ですから、ご自愛ください」
The season is changing (and it's easier to get ill), so please take care of yourself.

「くれぐれもご無理などなさらないよう、ご自愛ください」
Please be careful not to overdo too much.
