Making tawba

So I was recently reminded of this hadith

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ascended the pulpit and he said, “Amīn, amīn, amīn.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the pulpit and said amīn, amīn, amīn.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Gabriel came to me and he said: Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say amīn. I said amīn. Whoever sees his parents in their old age, one or both of them, and he does not honor them and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say amīn. I said amīn. Whoever has your name mentioned in his presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say amīn. I said amīn.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 915

I've been trying to seek Allah's forgiveness this month. The problem is that even though I regret my mistakes, I feel regret for worldly reasons (i.e. The time that I wasted, the relationships I cut, etc), I can't muster up any regret for disobeying Allah. I want to, but I just can't seem to grasp the gravity of disobeying Allah SWT.

How do I realize the weight of my sins from an Islamic perspective rather than just from a worldly perspective? I feel like I won't able to make sincere tawba without it.
