Unrealistic expectations in dating can lead to disappointment, resentment, and even cause you to give up hope that you'll ever find love. While it's important to have clear standards for who we believe will be a good match for us, when you set your expectations too high for every date, you're going to burn out quickly and feel disheartened.

Hi, Friends!This week's episode of The Terrible Anvil was streamed LIVE on YouTube (I dunno if we will do that regularly, but if you've been wanting to catch a live call and aren't part of the SAW Comics FLOW + PUBLISH group, check that page out. It's also where we archive the video recordings!)Ok, what did we talk about this week? EXPECTATIONS!A few episodes back Tom said:  "There are a lot of reasons to feel bad while making art. Most of those are expectations of results, expectations, rewards"There were three ideas we touched on in this episode:-Time is the medium of possibility (give yourself more time)-Inevitability versus possibility (don't mandate results before, during, or after the work)- It's ok to be ambitious! (But normalize your mediocrity too. That old adage, shoot for the moon, land among the stars...but you could also stay in grassy field dreaming and stargazing)Sometimes things don't end up how we planned (see the plentiful "expectations vs reality" memes, this one is my favorite:)...and sometimes things go better than we think they might!Some highlights from the chat this week:Maria Fitzgerald said: "If one makes a deadline it gives one something to aim for.  It makes the project suddenly seem possible."From Jess: "we often tell ourselves we have to become like the great masters before we can finish our work, when really we can work with what we have now"Michi Mathias said: "We always see our own work as mediocre bcs it never matches what was in our heads. But when we dare to show it to other people, they see it as fantastic! The hard part is accepting that, not negating it…."Which reminded me of this Ira Glass quote:Tom Hart said that GOALS and EXPECTATIONS are “Wiggly terms” - have to define them and negotiate them for ourselves"But maybe we have more control over our goals; expectations are often derived from comparing ourselves to othersNow more than ever, art-making and publishing and sharing is more accessible than before. Tom thinks "Having so many options makes art making more accessible and should be fun!"Jess mused "If your expectations are open-ended and steeped more in possibility than inevitability, they can be easier to manage"We talked about our expectations: wanting to draw like Charles Schulz (consistently, magnificently) wanting a regular, steady job teaching art in higher ed, or expectations within an experience like an MFA program--Tom had a good bit of advice, if you take nothing else with you:How to deal with expectations? Lower them!One way to do this:Tom recommends making small things that are easier to finishI joked about embracing mediocrity but there's something to this about being authentic, showing up, working how YOU work (not how you wish you worked, or how Charles Schulz worked) and trying not to get too cynical about the whole process. Stay curious, be kind to yourself and your inability to draw hands/cars/backgrounds--Alison Kent said: "One of the most valuable things about SAW is the community cheerleading, it's not a red ocean (full of sharks) vs. blue ocean. (Unlike a lot of MFA programs)"Tom mentioned this movie:Tom set his expectations for undergrad on this film - wanted to be surrounded by curious artistic minds and found that his classmates just wanted to essentially draw Hulk + Superwoman porn Jess was also thinking about the repetition or expectation of something happening more than once (RESULTS): SOMETIMES vs ALWAYS and NEVER - things happen sometimes, but rarely always and rarely neverOneita Parker said: "Its ok to create here"Adrean Clark said: "sometimes we make things thinking it'll go somewhere but in the end it goes in a different direction"Walter Hudsick wondered: "Is there an aspect especial to comics/cartooning that creates an expectation of publishing? Plenty of people paint for fun without ever expecting to sell a painting or be in a museum, for example. But comics really only exist when published?"On goals, Jim Hamilton said: "I set a modest goal that I am pretty sure I can meet: selling 100 books this year. I'm up to 39 books sold now and I have two events that should get me a lot closer in the next couple of weeks. (I have also given away 21 books to family, libraries, mentors, etc..)"There's LOADS more in this episode, we thank you for listening. Thanks for being here!

This episode talks through the expectations we have for our kids, how to make sure they're realistic and look at them differently, through this new parenting lens.Can we differentiate our DESIRES for our kids from the EXPECTATIONS of our kids. Expectations feel like boundaries or rules, which can lead to the punishment, control, shame, or coercion we're trying to change in this type of parenting.If we truly believe that "bad" behavior is a lack of a skill, lack of connection, etc. and that all behavior makes sense, then it's impossible to truly expect "good" behavior all the time. It is necessary to lower expectations if we truly believe they are always doing the best they can.Many times parents shift the way we're practicing parenting (gentle, conscious, respectful, etc.) but we haven't shifted expectations at the same time, which makes it hard to make those two line up, and can lead to more difficulties feeling good about this approach and staying in the new kind of interventions.Sometimes we come up with reasons for requiring kids to live up to our expectations when really it's more that we just want them to do what we say or think they should do. Our kids will tell us, with their behavior, about the expectations we have for them. It's on us to listen to them, get curious about their behavior, and try to determine why they might be struggling consistently to meet certain expectations or follow through with certain tasks. Bottom line: an expectation is unrealistic if their behavior tells us they can't do it.Because we drop the expectations, it allows us to stop chasing behaviors, because we no longer expect near perfection from our kids and can instead become more of a coach and supporter as opposed to a task driver.Instead of identifying expectations, which are usually an either/or situation, what if we looked at this as goals, which is something we work towards together. As long as we have expectations for other people's behavior will always leave you feeling disappointed.Subscribe, rate, and review us on Podchaser, Apple, or wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow us on social media to join the conversation!!!FacebookInstagram

The latest Green Day album kicks off our conversation today about expectations. If something fails to meet our expectations, that doesn't always mean we set them too high, we need to lower them in the future, or we need to overcompensate to make easier for others to meet our expectations. What it might mean instead is that we need to change how we think about our expectations and that, of course, is an inside job. Take a listen to this week's episode of the podcast to find out what type of inner work we should be doing and whether that Green Day album exceeded expectations or fell short.

Join us as Ps James talks about the importance of not lowering your expectations in life.

In this episode, I talk about the curvature of expectations held in marriage/partnership over the centuries, and how in this day and age, it is beneficial, in some ways, to lower your expectations. I also address the "alpha male" and "high value man" conversation, and why we ought to be cautious and discerning about it. If you wish your partner was more spiritual or brought home more money, this episode will bring you some perspective, and how lowering your expectations will paradoxically open you up to receive MORE than you ever dreamed of in your partnership.   Links: Also, it's my birthday!

This week I share the importance of learning from past mistakes and how it can lead to lowering expectations for oneself. This is a valuable lesson that can be applied to various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and personal hobbies. Last summer I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed during my busy summer and it made me realize the importance of taking a break to prioritize family time this summer. What is coming up for you this summer? If you are feeling overwhelmed by some things, here are some good questions. Is this essential to do? If you need to do it, is there a past experience you can learn from to help you do it differently this time? In what ways can I lower my expectations? Make a choice to make it more manageable AND create an affirmation to help! Here is what I am choosing to do – Take a break from social media and podcasting for two months to focus on family time. Lower expectations for oneself to avoid feeling overwhelmed and stressed. If I choose to post replays to fill the 2 month gap, I am not going to edit them to have a new intro… I may just add a 15 second intro in front of the old one. This way I may actually have time and energy to do this. Create affirmations to help. I am actually using the one from Carson's wedding. Staying flexible, calm and present helps me enjoy the day.

[video] we often find ourselves disappointed with other people. there are times when we set realistic expectations for people, such as expecting somebody to treat you with respect, or to follow the law and not steal from you or harm you. those are realistic, normal, healthy expectations to have. but there are times when we become disappointed in people because they didn't meet our expectations. but we have to ask ourselves, did we set the expectation too high? today i want to talk about having unrealistic expectations about people and why we should try to eradicate those from our mind. because i think many of us expect a lot. and it's complicated because having a set of expectations for how you want to be treated and for who you want to have in your life is important, healthy, and how you keep yourself safe and happy. but at the same time, we can take it too far and we can set expectations for people that are impossible to reach.

In this episode, Cassie Parks and Ginny Gane talk about the O in LOA the Manifest It Now Way when it comes to manifesting a relationship using the law of attraction and conscious creation. The O stands for open to more. Many people think they need to lower their expectations rather than open and ask for more when it comes to manifesting a relationship. The manifesting mavens explain how opening to more and more can helps you manifest a relationship faster, not slower. They teach you how opening to more applies to manifesting a relationship. Limiting yourself when manifesting slows success. Ginny defines opening to more as, “Steadily connecting to what I really want - staying true to the vision.” Cassie defines opening to more as, “Ask for even more of the experience you want.” Ginny and Cassie share stories of how opening to more helped them on their journey to manifesting dream relationships.
