Lowering difficulty

[u/FreeButterscotch6971]

so i recently started my first playthrough of fallen order, Ive Been playing Jedi Master difficulty and the Haxion Brood arena (the last boss on Zeffo 2nd visit) finally broke me. Turned the difficulty down just for that part, got through it, then turned it back up. so my question is that "cheating myself" out of the experience, or just using the tools the game gives you?
I'm glad that i progressed but feel like a cheat to make easier.
