1 Smile. The smile is one of Yato's best features. Yato is often seen smiling and goofing around when he is around his loved-ones. So, do the same. Make sure the ones who surround you are happy when it's time to enjoy. Be happy so long as your companions are!

2 Daydream about your wishes and desires. Yato is always seen fantasizing about his desires which include having millions of worshippers, a shrine dedicated to his name, beautiful female Shinki (or Regalias, Sacred Treasures) and the affection of Hiyori Iki. He openly expresses his wants and needs so that the people that surround him get a good idea of his goals. So, proudly announce what your aim in life is and don't forget to give it your all in order to achieve it. Although Yato slacks off in the pursuit of his desires but with a little help from Yukine, he comes back on track.

3 Be dedicated. In the anime and in the manga, Yato is fully aware of his duty to gain enough money to build a shrine for himself (his biggest wish). For this purpose, he never leaves a call unattended or a request unanswered. He is always searching for ways to attain more money and grips any opportunity that might make him famous. So, whatever your aim in life is, go at it with all you've got. Avail all opportunities that might take you a step further on your path to success. Never give up hope!

4 Be hopeful. Yato is cheery and optimistic. Even in the most hopeless of situations, he manages to find a source of hope and inspiration. This allows him to overcome all difficulties and gain success. All you need to do is have a source of inspiration. It is up to you what you pick. In case of Yato, it is the sense of affection, bonding and belonging, which he strongly feels towards Hiyori and Yukine.

5 Be strong-willed, similar to being hopeful. If circumstances shake your faith, change your path or make you rethink your goal, be strong. "Where there is a will, there is a way." is what you need to keep in mind while you adopt this trait. It was Yato's sheer will and determination which drove him to defeat Rabo and save Hiyori. So, don't let the regret of the past, the difficulties of the present nor the fear of the future deter your faith.

6 Rely on others and be reliable yourself. Treat others as you'd want to be treated by them. If you show yourself as a reliable person, then others will automatically lend you a helping hand when you need it. Yato truly cares about the emotions of his loved ones. If they're sad, he tries to make them feel better. He tries to solve their expressed as well as unexpressed problems. In order to truly inculcate this trait in your personality, know everything about the people that surround you. Get a good idea about their interests, their strengths, their weaknesses, their dislikes etc. That way you will know how to make them feel better when they are feeling down.

7 Be protective. Whether it's your family, your friends or your colleagues, take care of them. If it's someone you admire, go to great lengths in order to protect them. Protection can be done both physically and mentally. Make sure they aren't harmed by anyone or anything and that their mental health doesn't deteriorate. Let them know that you will always be there to protect them and that they can rely on you in any situation.

8 Be easy-going yet calm and composed. Most of the time Yato is seen goofing and joking around with his friends but when he's alone, he's calm and composed. Take a little time out everyday to rethink your strategies, mend your ways if necessary, let go of worries etc. This will help you remain calm and collected. Otherwise, you might appear stressed, tired or tense. Easy-going people like Yato live in the moment. Do ponder about events that happened in the past or things you want to happen in the future but keep them limited to yourself and make sure they don't appear overwhelming.
