How to use "Lack" in context?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to what causes lack. This elusive mood can stem from a variety of causes and can manifest itself in a variety of ways. However, some key factors that can contribute to a lack feeling are lack of control, feeling overwhelmed, and feeling helpless.
Lack can make it difficult to feel motivated and productive. This can impact both individual and team attempts to achieve goals, as well as overall quality of life. In some cases, lack can also lead to depression and other mental health issues.
