I like that approach and am trying to do something similar. One thing I do when analyzing is ask myself if was an adaptive response or an authentic response. An adaptive responses are those that we might do to protect ourselves and are not coming from our authentic self. For example, I might feel angry if given feedback at work. The anger might come from a deeper need to protect my self-worth, which is an adaptive behavior I learned over the years and not authentically me. My goal is to react more in an authentic way. I might thank the person for the feedback, decide if I should address it in any way, and calmly respond if needed.

Anyway, I am still trying to figure this same thing out. Glad to hear it seems to help you.
