Day 1: A Brick of Light — Day 1 of My LEGO Coaching Advent Calendar
Blog content
I decided to buy myself a LEGO Advent Calendar this season, since I am a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator and I love LEGO and all that it can unlock. I recently went to The Art of the Brick LEGO art show in Montreal by artist Nathan Sawaya, and I came away with a simple mantra:
“It all starts with one brick.”
When I looked at all the advent calendars LEGO had to offer — Star Wars, Friends, Harry Potter, and more — none of them felt like Christmas to me. And since I have so much LEGO at my fingertips for facilitating LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops, I decided that this year I will be building my own Advent calendar — and I invite you to join me.
And if you don’t have LEGO, please don’t let that stop you.
You can buy a small set, borrow some, or simply use any creative medium you love:
draw, doodle, paint, sketch, sculpt with Play-Doh…
The power is in the metaphor, not the bricks.
This is not just about building the physical prompt.
It’s about exploring the meaning of the build and what it reflects back to you.
So when I say “light,” it might hold a deeper meaning for you — build that.
You are welcome to share your builds and insights in the comments, or send them to me directly or privately if that feels more comfortable.
Remember: this is not about perfection, but about creativity and self-discovery.
DAY 1: A Brick of Light
December has arrived, and with it comes our first LEGO Advent prompt: light.
Not the big, dramatic kind — the tiny kind.
The kind that’s almost too small to notice… until you do.
Today’s build is a simple LEGO candle, a single flame made from just a few bricks.
But here’s the magic: even a tiny flame can change the room it’s in.
As you build your version of this candle, take a breath and ask yourself:
Where can you add 1% more light to your day?
Not 20%. Not a complete life overhaul.
Just 1%.
A kinder tone.
A clearer boundary.
A slower minute.
A moment of gratitude that interrupts the rush.
That 1% is a brick.
And bricks add up.
Welcome to Day 1.
Let’s light the month together — one piece, one question, one gentle shift at a time.
