'Today's' Sheinelle Jones Says She's 'Rejuvenated' After First Solo Destination Vacation

"It was transformative," said the mom of three.

Sheinelle Jones is enjoying the peace and quiet these days.

On Sunday (July 30), the Today host opened up with her followers on Instagram about a milestone she recently experienced; a solitary getaway to be at one with herself, as reported by PEOPLE.

Her post included a couple of selfies, along with picturesque views of her surroundings, including greenery, a mountainscape, an up-close snap of cacti, and a sight of the sun glistening over a creek.

The Today host reflected on a moment from her past when she tried something new, which motivated her to embark on a bid for her wellness.

"I remember the first time I went to the movies by myself; it was several years ago when I was having vocal issues and it was frustrating and tough for me to talk outside of work. That was a moment. I walked out of the theater thinking … "wow, I enjoyed my own company,'" she wrote.

That memory laid the foundation for Jones – a wife and mom to three– to set out on a new journey by herself.

She continued, "Fast forward to this week. I took my first "destination" trip alone. Only a couple of days by myself. You know what I learned? I still enjoy my own company. ☺️"

"I didn't have to talk when I didn't feel like it. I sat and ate dinner without a phone or a book to offer a distraction. Just my thoughts. I hiked. Meditated. Took so many pictures of the sky. Admired Gods handiwork. Lots of swimming. Lots of silence. It was transformative," she added.

Of the impact from her solo excursion, she said, "I am rejuvenated. I swear I discovered new gray hairs, even a birthmark I forgot about on my chin. Until next time. ❤️"
