Three things settle a person’s mind, and they are: sound, sight and smell.

Pleasant sounds, beautiful sights and good scents can calm and rejuvenate a person.

"Three things from the world to come, these are: the Sabbath, the sun, and intercourse... Three things settle a person’s mind, these are: sound, sight and smell. Three things expand a person’s mind, these are: a beautiful home, a beautiful woman, and fine utensils" – Brachot 57a
