How should leaders take care of themselves?

By choosing the inner circle members carefully. A leader needs to be surrounded by true friends and great mentors. These two are important for a leader to have because they will play different roles in a leader’s life. True friends who say things the way it is not say things you want to hear. This type of friends is difficult to find, but when you find them, they’re like a solid rock that keeps you grounded. They remind you of who you are and support you in every step you take, while also criticize you relentlessly and honestly. They are there in gruesome and victory times. All leaders need mentors whom can inspire and be followed to. When you’re just starting your fight to success, a mentor could be a source to imitate. A good mentor will share his/her knowledge and history about the success s/he achieved, and you’d think in dark times “what would my mentor do in time like this?”. This will bring your spirit back and try again. Physical maintenance is also important. A leader must take care of own's health and nutrition in order to lead effectively. A healthy body is a perfect shell for a healthy mind. It is not arguable that becoming a leader is stressful, but a smart leader will not choose doing damaging stuff like smoking and drinking excessively to ease the mind. The healthiest way is to meditate, have a strong believe in God, and surrounded by loved and trusted ones.
