With fear past, resume ins and outs of daily life (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breathe again

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with fear past resume ins' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'and outs of daily life' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'life' could be 'breath' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'breath' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breathe again that I've seen before include "Relax after a crisis" , "having got a second wind" , "Return to normality" .)
