1.
Join a Women's Club. Even if you don't like the idea of lunching etc. you will meet people who will want to be your friends and find out information about your new country which will be invaluable. American, British and Canadian Women's Clubs all welcome other nationalities.
2.
Have a routine. Make sure you don't drift through your days. Set up a time for breakfast, a time to answer emails etc. Break up your day. This is a lifesaver.
3.
Volunteer. Find a cause you are in sympathy with and volunteer some of your time. Again, you will meet people, and this will help you establish a routine and find out about your new home country.
4.
Develop a hobby. Now is your chance to learn to paint, cook, write a book, photography, you name it. Use the time – do an Open University degree, learn to play the guitar, whatever you have always wanted to do. Do it now.
5.
Exercise. One of the problems with trailing spouses is depression. Exercise is often limited in hot or cold countries. Get an exercise cycle, take up yoga, walk the dog, do whatever you can, but make sure you exercise daily.
