TODAY'S IDIOM: (YOUR) HEART ISN'T IN IT

"(YOUR) HEART ISN'T IN IT"

 

If your heart isn't in something you're doing, you don't really want to do it.

Example: Ali was studying to be a doctor, but his heart wasn't in it so he decided to follow his real dream and study film-making instead. 

Su corazón no estaba ahí.

Example sentences:

• We could tell that Sally's heart wasn't in it when she tried singing jazz, so we said she should stick to pop songs / Podríamos decir que el corazón de Sally no estaba ahí cuando intentó cantar jazz, así que digamos que debería atenerse a las canciones de pop.

• She's doing the photo shoot to promote her book, but her heart isn't in it. She looks really bored / Ella está haciendo la sesión de fotos para promocionar su libro, pero su corazón no está ahí. Se ve realmente aburrida.

Additional examples:

• I tried to do some writing, but my heart wasn't in it.

• I tried to look interested, but my heart wasn't in it.
