The root chakra is responsible for movement, physical sensations and grounding ourselves. When we are in burnout, our body is full of physical discomfort. Our physical world is filled with struggle, and we may find it difficult to trust others and ourselves. When we are stressed from the grind of the work world, our root chakra becomes blocked when we are too concerned with outcomes and goals. If you are in a high-pressure sales environment, it is wise to focus less on the adverse consequences and more on the stability you have in life.
