Says Sri Krishna in the 6th Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita —

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नत: |

Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?

There must be a sense of balance in all your activities avoiding the two extremes of being a workaholic and being a lazy person. Similarly in your eating, sleeping, relaxing, you must be moderate.

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!
