Welcome to Healthy Habits!
Hey there, how are you? I hope all is well in your world. It's coming to the end of the summer here in Australia and it has been a great summer. January feels like a long time ago now, but we took most of that month off. We actually went on a retreat which was quite different to normal retreats I have to say. What do you think of when you think of the word 'retreat'? For most people, images of yoga, meditation, fresh juices and salad come to mind. Well, for us, instead of going on a yoga and meditation retreat, we went on a Carnival Cruise around the South Pacific! I learnt a lot! You can read all about it here.
I also spent quite a bit of time reflecting on my 2018 and capturing the learnings from another year around the sun, and that reflection has fed into planning 2019 which is well underway now. Looking forward, we have some great initiatives lined up for you, all designed to help you Get More Energy and put that Energy into valuable activities that lead to results. That's what RAW Energy is all about.

A FEW THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT:

If your New Year's resolutions have fallen by the wayside now that we're two months into the year, don't beat yourself up. Most people's resolutions don't last far past the middle of January. In truth, new year's resolutions, and goals for that matter, aren't much use without a solid life plan that helps you get really clear on where you are right now, before creating a vision and goal for the future. RAW Energy's Better Life Programme has been designed to do just that. Click here for details.

Whilst I have been very focused on promoting wellness in a big way, I have finally listened to the people around me who have persuaded me to do a personal website that combines my expertise from all aspects of my life.
Now, I've been a marketer for many years and have very comfortable promoting brands and products, but when it comes to promoting myself as a brand, that has been quite challenging for the boy who has always preferred to be behind the scenes. Well I guess it's time to come out into the light and share what I know and help more people who want to make a difference, make that difference. Here's my personal website!. Let me know what you think. lawrence@getrawenergy.co

The RAW Energy Philosophy
When I started RAW Energy back in 2008, I was at a very different point in my life. I'd just started to transition my diet, had become a nutrition geek and started the RAW Energy blog to help me capture and share the new knowledge I was acquiring. I called it RAW Energy as, at the time, I was into raw foods, and saw energy as the outcome of wellbeing. Roll forward to today, and my life and the RAW Energy philosophy has moved on somewhat. It's no longer about RAW foods, but stands for Resilience, Authenticity and Wellbeing, and has a whole framework to support what we do. I've created a 30 second video to explain the philosophy. Once again, I'd love you feedback. lawrence@getrawenergy.co.

And finally, with our global partner, Sonas Events, we're working hard to bring the second Wellbeing@Work Conference to Sydney. The full programme will be launched at the end of this month, but you don't need to wait until September to be inspired. Our second Wellbeing@Work meetup takes place at Marketo's offices in central Sydney on 14th March @ 6-9pm . If you'd like to join us, we'd love to see you. Simply email: heather@getrawenergy.co to register.
I think that's it. I'll leave you with a wonderful quote from Vandana Shiva who I saw speak at The Real Truth about Health Conference last month. If you haven't heard of her, she's definitely worth following.
Finally, we'll be travelling overseas in May. We'll still working on the itinerary, but will likely be in LA, New York, London and Singapore, so if you're in any of those places, do let us know and maybe we can arrange to meet up.
With best wishes,
Lawrence, Heather, and the Raw Energy team
