settle into
Become at home
To settle into is to become comfortable or established in a new situation, place, or routine.
The phrase suggests a gradual process of adjustment—you don't instantly belong, but over time you find your footing: It took a few weeks to settle into the new job.
You can settle into a chair, a relationship, a rhythm of work, or a way of life.
