The term 'low phase' is commonly used in both American and Brazilian contexts to describe temporary periods of difficulty, whether in business, sports, personal relationships, or mental health. In Brazil, it's frequently used in motivational and self-help contexts, often coupled with the expectation that the person will 'overcome' or 'pass through' this phase. In the US, it's also used in sports commentary and business analysis to describe performance cycles.
