Cafe East

Location: Surrey Quays

Meal: Pho Ga (Chicken Pho Noodle Soup Based) £7.50, Sam Bo Luong £3.

Price: £10.50

Cafe East is a Vietnamese Restaurant located in South East London. It was my first time eating Pho. I went with a group of old school friends who I hadn't seen in a while so that maybe have added to the experience. Good or bad, I couldn't say as I didn't expect to see one of them at all. Anyways, I enjoyed Pho but I couldn't quite tell what was different from other noodles. It was a good amount and I was full up by the end of it. The drink was recommend by my friend and it was a great choice too! It had lychees and some other random mix of fruits and something else I could not quite figure out but all in all, it was a very refreshing drink!

An overall rating 6/10.

Eliminating Fear

Steps to eradicate fear.  

The vast majority of women (and men) have no idea how to control their minds. Your thoughts and perceptions of the world around you are the source of your imagined fear. When you allow yourself to focus on what other people think or things that are completely beyond your control you essentially feed your fear response. Begin to assert control over your mind by learning to consistently follow five steps -  

1) Acknowledge the fear.  
When you begin to feel that panic rise up and your thoughts start to spin around all the things you wish to avoid, you are experiencing a fear response. Determine whether the fear is real or imagined. Are you in danger of direct physical or emotional harm? If not, then your fear is imagined. Then try to determine which of the six types of fear yours falls into. 

 2) Identify the source of the fear.  
Take an assessment of your internal dialog, that little voice inside your head, and figure out what is causing the alarm. What challenge are you currently facing that is eliciting this reaction? Are you allowing any doubt or insecurity feed your fear? Being able to articulate your fear removes some of the emotions attached to it. 

3) Assess your reaction to the source.  
Is the intensity of your reaction reasonable, or have you allowed your runaway thoughts to blow things completely out of proportion? Think about how you can take a step back, set your emotions aside, and try to look at your reaction objectively. 

 4) Reestablish your power over the fear.  
Now it’s time to figure out a better way to respond to the situation. Always remember that fear originates in your mind. By breaking it down into bite-sized chunks, you diffuse it’s power over you. When you look imagined fear straight in the eye you will be able to see how transparent and unfounded it actually is. When your fear no longer has substance, it no longer controls your thoughts. 

5) Embrace the benefits of the fear.  
Once you realise that your fear is imagined, what the source is, why you reacted the way you did, and how you need to turn your thoughts around, it’s time to look for the benefit your fear has created. Stop and evaluate to what the fear reaction is diverting your attention. Is there something important that you’ve overlooked? Is there a valuable lesson to be learned? Is your life simply trying to push you out of your comfort zone to something better? If you are dwelling on the past or getting too far ahead of yourself in the future, do you need to get your mind present-centered? The proof is in process Just like you can’t train to run a marathon in one day, it will take some time before you can really learn to master your thoughts. Exercise patience and persistence with yourself and the process. Knowledge is power and the more you eliminate the unknowns, the less impact fear with have on your performance.
