Meaning of "[気張]{きば}らずゆっくりやっていこうね"


> **気張らず** ゆっくりやっていこうね

'ゆっくりやっていこう’ means "I'll keep on going slowly", right?  
But what is 気張らず?




「気張らず」 ＝ 「気張らずに」 ＝ 「気張らないで」

Those are the negative and continuative forms of 「気張る」 = "exert or strain
oneself".

Thus, 「気張らず」 means "without straining oneself", "taking it easy", etc.

> "Let's take it easy and go slowly, shall we?"
