When the girls were teens and life was not going as they wanted, their favorite phrase was, "life is doo-doo!!" Adults do not escape life's messes, but we are a bit more sophisticated and say things like, "ugh!!"
From a carnal mind "ugh" means that social exchange is not working for us. Somehow we are not able to get from the world around us what we want to meet our needs. So we give up (depression) or we get more self focused and try harder to extract from others what we want (self-serving).
From a Kingdom mind, "ugh" reminds us we are not self-sufficient and we should immediately hear (following our "ugh") these words from our Father, "my Grace is sufficient."
Thus, when we are harmony with the Kingdom, "ugh" is actually a blessing!! Imagine that ....
