Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s Begin With a Circle...

• Ever heard of a Mandala?
  It’s more than just a pretty circle. It’s a peaceful, pattern-filled journey that brings calm, focus, and creativity into your life. Think of it as meditation — but with colors and shapes.
  

• Who’s it for?
  Absolutely anyone. Whether you’re juggling deadlines, running a home, or enjoying retirement, Mandala art is a gentle escape into mindfulness and joy.
  
  

• Worried about time?
  You only need 10–15 minutes a day. That’s it. Just a few minutes to color or create — and you’ll feel the stress melting away.
  
  

• Not confident about drawing?
  No problem at all! I’ve got ready-to-color Mandala layouts waiting for you. No drawing skills needed — just your presence
  
  

• Is it serious or fun?
  It’s both. Some people make it a deep, spiritual practice. Others do it for fun, healing, or even as a creative career. You choose your path.
  
  

• What inspired me to start this journey?
  I began drawing Mandalas during a phase when life felt overwhelming. Slowly, it became my anchor — calming, empowering, and deeply fulfilling. That’s how Not That Tough was born.
  
  

• Do I have a background in art?
  Surprisingly — no! I’m self-taught. My background is in Teaching, but Mandalas have shown me that creativity resides in all of us. I have been learning new things each day.
  
  

• How can I incorporate Mandalas into my daily life?
  Through journaling, goal-setting, gratitude, and even meditation. I design layouts not just for art, but for self-reflection, affirmations, and intention-setting. I help interested people provide Free Mandala Layouts for coloring.
  
  

• Is Mandala the same as doodling or Zentangle?
  They’re similar but not the same. Mandalas follow a circular grid and often carry spiritual or emotional intention. Doodling is freer; Zentangle is patterned but structured differently.
  
  

• Myth: "You need to be creative to enjoy this."
  Truth: Not at all. Mandala art isn’t about being artistic — it’s about being present. Many people discover their creativity through the process.
  

• Myth: "It takes a lot of time."
  Truth: Even 5 mindful minutes can shift your mood. The beauty is in the process, not the hours.
