Keep painting. What thoughts bump into your bliss? Thoughts that judge the "productivity" of your painting activity, that judge your "talent" as if there could be a right or wrong way of simply covering a canvas with color. Thoughts that jump ahead and tell you that you will "never be able to paint a mandala as good as the example." Thoughts that remember how much you love the color. Thoughts of yourself as a child, scribbling fearlessly and showing off your creations. Thoughts of newness, possibility, and anticipation. Simply shine the light of your awareness on these thoughts. Then, choose the ones you want to keep.
Maybe there is a color on your canvas that is asking to be covered by another color you find more resonant ? Just as you can paint over and over the colors on the canvas, so can you replace any thoughts in your mind that do not serve you with new ones that make you happy. The way you do anything is the way you do everything. Change the way you think as you paint, change the way you think as you live.
