Japanese idiom for don't let it get to your head?
You can say:

  * うぬぼれるな
  * 調子に乗るな
  * 思い上がるな
  * いい気になるな

If you need an _idiom_ , you can also say 天狗になるな (lit. "Don't become a _tengu_
").

According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengu):

> The tengu of this period were often conceived of as the ghosts of the
> arrogant, and as a result the creatures have become strongly associated with
> vanity and pride. Today the Japanese expression _tengu ni naru_ ("becoming a
> tengu") is still used to describe a conceited person.
