Good one! Another framing I like is that progress is mostly about speed of recovery, which cashes out similarly to your framing, but tracks a slightly different element.
(Copying from Twitter) This seems to clash with the classic "dark night" model where things actually get much worse for a while (months or years) before suddenly clicking. Quite a few contemporary spiritual teachers talk about going through something like a dark night.
Whoah, this comes at just the right time. I am going through a major sickness relapse, which is thankfully becoming rarer and rarer nowadays. This is helping me reevaluate my ideas of progressing towards good health. Thank you for writing it!
I found the opposite of this to be true when recovering from depression. My recovery was exactly like the model given as incorrect, moving from days that had 3/10 life satisfaction/happiness to weeks that averaged 6 or 7 out of 10
