I'm intrigued by the second point - could you share some more of your thoughts or examples with that?
If I am tired and snap at my daughter then I feel guilty to hurt her feelings but that's because I love her and I'm grateful she is in my life it reminds me to focus on and share the love and gratitude. Guilt is the indication there is something I value that I am not appreciating or respecting enough. The idea being instead of the feeling dragging me down it moves me forward.

This drove it home for me; thanks for your reply!
