Discover why your bad days are actually proof of progress! Learn about the positivity paradox - why feeling worse sometimes means you're getting better. In this video, I break down the contrast trap, how your brain forgets past struggles, and why your worst days now would've been victories before.

As a mindset coach, I've seen countless people convince themselves they're back at square one after one difficult day. The truth? Your emotional floor has risen - you're just comparing today to your recent highs, not your past lows. I'll show you the league table analogy and emotional elevator concept that'll change how you view setbacks forever.

You'll learn practical tools like mood journalling with the W/L method, understand why disappointment proves progress, and discover how to reframe temporary dips as success indicators. Stop letting the positivity paradox sabotage your mental health journey.

Remember: your capacity for disappointment has grown because your capacity for joy grew first. Every bad day now is evidence of how far you've come.
