It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

If you’ve never been out with us, or it’s been a while… this is the event to jump in. Most people come solo and leave with new friends. Bowling on New Year’s Eve is **nearly impossible to book** — and we locked down 8 lanes. That alone makes this a rare one. we are definitely not a pro bowlers (**I’m actually pretty bad** 😅), but bowling is way better when pizza and beer are involved 🍕🍺 This event is posted on meetup with Central Ohio Friends **Please RSVP with ONE group only** 🎳 • $15 per person • 2 hours of unlimited bowling • Up to 6 people per lane • **Bring $15 exact cash** (helps us move fast) ⏰ THE PLAN 🕢 **7:45 PM** – Show up, grab a drink, and settle in 🕘 **9:00 PM – Bowling starts** 🕚 **11:00 PM** – Head to Level One Bar & Arcade / **The Derby (Worthington)** to **watch the ball drop** and finish the night 🎉 Please **arrive early (around 8:00 PM)** so we can get checked in and start on time.
