READ: How to get over heartbreak according to JBK
Healing from heartbreak oftentimes feels impossible. While you cannot totally escape the unbearable pain, there are ways to speed up your healing.
In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, Joshua Bulot, Bryan del Rosario and Kim Ordonio of the Kapuso millennial trio JBK look back at their personal experiences to share effective ways to mend a broken heart.
1. Travel
People say traveling is the best cure for heartbreak, and this holds true for the members of JBK.
Joshua explains, “In traveling okay siya kasi you meet new people, you see more places. Kumbaga nakikita at nare-realize mo na malaki 'yung mundo at marami ka pang pwedeng gawin.”

2. Indulge in your comfort food
You might lose your appetite but you cannot deny that eating your heart out brings comfort, too.
For Bryan, he prefers going on food trips. He says, “Comfort food. Para lang may mag-tap sa 'yo na parang “Okay lang 'yan.” Comfort food ko kasi ang Korean and I think lahat naman eh. Syempre nandyan lahat. Ang sarap ng veggies, nakaka-GV 'yung veggies lalo na 'yung kimchi. Tapos siyempre maaaliw ka habang nagluluto.”

3. Workout
Give yourself some relief from stress and pain by working out. Exercising boosts the release of endorphins, the so-called “feel-good” chemicals.
Bryan says, “Workout kasi you'll release endorphins 'di ba. It's the good hormone na i-release ng body to fight anxiety, depression. Happy hormones.”

4. Improve yourself
Nursing a broken heart is actually an opportunity to work on yourself.
Kim advises, “Focus mo nalang 'yung atensyon mo sa sarili mo. Gawin mong mas better 'yung lifestyle mo, sa work mo mas mag-focus ka. Mas maiiba na 'yung goal mo, magkakaroon ka pa [ng iba]. List nila kung ano pa 'yun gusto nilang gawin.
“Sabihin na natin na pag nasa relationship ka, may mga bagay na gusto mong gawin pero hindi mo magawa. Para lang mawala 'yung pakiramdam na 'yun, gawin mong busy 'yung sarili mo.”
5. Find an outlet
Feel all those heavy and confusing emotions and release them into a creative outlet. For Bryan, writing them down, and possibly turning them to music, is a good purge.
He says, “As in kung ano 'yung nafi-feel mo at that very moment, isulat mo lahat. Kung hindi mo masabi sa kanya, isulat mo lahat talaga. Kahit sa phone lang na notes, isulat mo… Basta anything, isulat mo lahat. Maniwala kayo sa akin, you'll get surprised after niyan parang nilabas mo lahat. Ang gaan.”
6. Surround yourself with good company.
No one can make you feel better than people who are rooting for your healing and success. Surround yourself with good company, and for Joshua that means spending time with family.
He explains, “Eto 'yung the best. Kasi 'yung family talaga magbago na lahat ng bagay, family mo andiyan pa rin para sa'yo and sila talaga yung magpapagaan ng loob mo.”
