Emotions & feelings
lose yourself in something
become deeply absorbed
To become so interested in an activity that you forget about everything else around you.
Hear it in real life
Why do you enjoy painting so much?
I can lose myself in it and forget about work.
I can lose myself in a good book for an entire afternoon.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I lost myself into a good book.
Say: I lost myself in a good book.
Use "in" after "lose yourself" when describing becoming absorbed in an activity.
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
lose yourself in something; lost myself in something; can lose yourself in something
Your turn: say it out loud
I can lose myself in a good book for an entire afternoon.
Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
lose yourself in something
become deeply absorbed
“I can lose myself in a good book for an entire afternoon.”
