Look, I never said you use pain to prove you're progressing, I said it's an indication of growth. Therefore, if something hurts or is difficult, it might just be an area to grow in! Heck, it was painful for me to talk to those people at the gym today I mentioned in my journal, but I did it anyways. I'm talking more about progress without regard for the hardship, I'm NOT saying you go looking for hardship as a way to progress.
There's a HUGE difference, and you'll figure that out in time.
It's just like the "good" and "bad" pain at the gym. After a while, you know which is which. You can just feel it, and you don't need to rely on anything but your own judgement to determine whether you are making the right progress or not, because you're not lying to yourself and you're in tune with yourself. Simple as that.
If you're progressing, you are, if not, you're not. Find a way. If it's hard, push through, if it's easy, let it slide. Just be in tune with yourself.
There's nothing else you can do but go by your own experiences. Like you said, we're all different, so find what works for YOU. What do you want to achieve? Then find a way to achieve it by using what works FOR YOU.
That's really all there is to it.
