A promotion has come up at work and my line manager appears to be encouraging me to apply. It would mean less time with my preteen, would add stress, and the tasks it involves aren’t that exciting. I don’t really want to apply but my insecure little ego is tormenting me. If I am honest with myself, I want people to know I am good enough to be promoted and if I don’t apply then people might think I was rejected. How do I rid myself of these unnecessary egotistical thoughts and just do what I know will make me and my family happy?
