I’m struggling to leave my computer and do things on my own. Could you talk me through regaining this skill? It seems almost terrifying to me.
It depends on the context.
If you are stressed or physically exhausted, taking a break from the computer and/or taking a walk outdoors may help.
If you are overly dependent on artificial intelligence or computer programs to do your work for you, such as using Photomath/Wolfram instead of solving math problems manually, you should start with simple tasks, regaining basic knowledge in your field.
If you are excessively using social media, you could take detox, that means living a full day or even week without using Facebook/Twitter/Reddit. This can improve your mental state and, as a result, your productivity.
In any other cases ask your relatives to support you, or consult a professional.
Thank you for the suggestions. I found them helpful and will try to implement some of them. I’m particularly interested in learning more about mindfulness techniques. Could you tell me more about that?
Sure, I'd be happy to tell you more about mindfulness techniques.

Mindfulness is a type of meditation that involves paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. It involves focusing your attention on the sensations in your body, your breath, and your thoughts without getting caught up in them or trying to change them.

Some common mindfulness techniques include:

1. Mindful Breathing: This involves focusing on your breath as it moves in and out of your body. You can do this by sitting comfortably, closing your eyes, and bringing your attention to your breath. Notice the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your nose or mouth, and how your chest or belly rise and fall with each breath.

2. Body Scan: This involves focusing on the different parts of your body and noticing any sensations you feel. You can do this by lying down or sitting in a comfortable position and bringing your attention to each part of your body in turn, starting from the top of your head and working your way down to your toes.

3. Mindful Eating: This involves focusing on the experience of eating, including the smell, taste, and texture of the food. You can do this by choosing a small piece of food, like a raisin, and bringing your attention to the experience of eating it. Notice how it feels in your mouth, how it tastes, and how it makes you feel.

4. Mindful Walking: This involves focusing on the sensations of walking, including the movement of your feet, the sensation of the ground beneath you, and the movement of your arms. You can do this by walking slowly and deliberately, paying attention to each step and each movement of your body.

There are many other mindfulness techniques you can try, but these are some of the most common. The key to mindfulness is to bring your attention to the present moment, without judgment or distraction. With practice, mindfulness can help you develop greater self-awareness, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve your overall well-being.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
