Labeling

So yesterday, my martial arts master said, "I am not saying this to be mean, but you are uncoordinatd, so you have to work harder." Well, with all the negativity from my husband, boss and martial arts instructor, I'm surprised I'm not a man hater! My mother said frequently, "You are so clumsy!" Not a good thing, tossing around labels. After a while, I believed it...thought I was a non athlete, that I was not graceful, that I was clumsy. I'm careful when I practice to not let a small error become a huge mountain.
