A New Day with Gerry Hussey

Do you understand how your body reacts to stress, and can you spot which nervous system response it jumps to?Today, Gerry explores the different stress states we can fall into, from fight and flight to freeze and fawn. He explains how pushing harder, avoiding everything, shutting down or people-pleasing can all be protective responses, and why recognising your own pattern without judgement is the first step towards returning to flow.Follow @anewdaypod and send us any questions, suggestions or feedback.

After a week of exploring how your inner voice is formed, how it shapes your nervous system, and how it can hold you back or set you free, today is about choosing what you want that voice to become.Today, Gerry closes The Stories Of Our Inner Voice with a short but powerful meditation to help you soften the chatterbox brain, fact check old narratives, and begin to choose a new inner story rooted in courage, strength and love.

Every word your inner voice speaks is a tiny instruction to your body, able to flood you with cortisol, trigger your nervous system and pull you back into survival mode.Today, Gerry shares how your inner story can flip you into fight or flight, and explains the incredible “algorithm” of the brain called the reticular activating system, which creates a powerful feedback loop for your beliefs and stories.

Before you ever learned the words for your feelings, your seven year old self was already absorbing stories about who you are and how the world works.Today, Gerry explains how the theta brain wave state of early childhood allows beliefs to be “downloaded” from parents, teachers and home life, and invites you to notice which of those old stories your inner voice is still quietly repeating.

All day long, your inner voice is turning your life into a story that can either hold you back or help you grow.Today, Gerry explains why we have this inner voice in the first place and how it helps us make sense of the world, before inviting you to notice the words you use, especially under stress.

Most of us live with a nonstop inner commentary that criticises, judges, and replays our mistakes without realising how deeply it’s shaping our nervous system, our beliefs, and our health.Today, Gerry begins a new week on The Stories Of Our Inner Voice, unpacking the difference between the chatterbox brain and a deeper, wiser inner knowing, and inviting you to start changing your inner story into something more powerful, loving, and purposeful.

As we navigate through the chaos of life, sometimes our biggest problem is right in front of us.Today, Gerry unpacks a hard truth about the shadows we cast, inviting you to look honestly at the impact you have on your environment, notice where your own patterns might be fuelling the tension, and consider what you’re ready to change.

Most of us grow up on autopilot, unaware of how the shadows we grew up in show up in our everyday lifeToday, Gerry takes you through a powerful reflection, inviting you to watch the “movie” of your last six months, notice your emotional default mode, and gently ask whether it’s healing or hurting you.

So many of us move through the world feeling scared, anxious and overwhelmed.Today, Gerry unpacks how our early childhood experiences can wire the nervous system into a sympathetic state (fight or flight) or parasympathetic state (calm and safe).

This week, Gerry is exploring the shadows we grew up in, the unseen emotional forces that quietly shaped who we are.Using the image of boats perfectly aligned by an invisible wind, he invites you to reflect on the hidden currents that have guided your life so far.

As we come to the end of this week, reflect on the inner work you’ve done around chance, choice and changing your personal reality.Gerry invites you to join him in meditation, to make space for yourself, to breath, and to remember that you are safe, loved, and free to choose.

Do you keep yourself stuck by giving energy to the things you can’t control? Today, Gerry invites you stop living in the stories that hold you back and instead choose a story of power.

So often we don’t think, we just react, and it hurts us more than the moment itself.Today, Gerry explores how to move from stress-fuelled reactions to conscious, powerful responses.

Every single morning, we wake up with two gifts beside the bed: a chance and a choice.Today, Gerry asks: What’s challenging you right now, and what would an incredible response look like if you placed your energy, awareness, and attention on choice?
