"Joy actually creates positive physical energy. Moments of joy when performing are often what help performers get over past failures and cast off boulders of stress. According to research, joy increases our dopamine levels, which increases activity in the brain associated with “high-level cognition”—memory, attention, creativity, and motivation. What helps create joy? Being playful. As play researcher and author Peter Gray points out, “The predominant emotions of play are interest and joy.”"
