How should I go about this?

I'll ask this without laying my entire situation on you. I am a pretty inexperienced tripper overall. I'm not sure how many times I've tripped, but I have grown my own and done them enough times to not be completely naive to their power. I feel like I need an eye opening trip, one that will possibly get me into gear. I have been feeling low about myself as of recent, unmotivated, ungrateful, and just in a rut. I feel like I worry about a lot of things that don't really matter but can't help it. I plan on starting a grow tonight, my question is, how should I go about this trip?
I have never tripped for a reason other than just to do it. So this experience I'm hoping will be new. I want to get something out of this, but I'm not sure what. I know that sounds weird, but that's what came out. Some other questions are how/where do I trip? Do I trip with my wife? We just moved to beautiful Colorado, so we have great outdoors if that is where you think I should trip. Basically I am looking for a meaningful trip, any advice is appreciated.

I think you might want to take a long walk out side, in a forest, on a really sunny day. Other than that, only you know the answer to your questions.
The fact that you really want to get something out of it this time will help you guide your self. Being "unmotivated, ungrateful, and just in a rut" is a problem, and you can possibly reprogram your self using mushrooms. You will realize that you cant really fix what is not broken, but you will find ways to change.
I find that the forest can be a great teacher. Even the stars can point you in the right directions. You can be reborn and mushrooms can certainly help this process/speed it way the hell up. There is no real recipe for this though. There are just so many ways to approach the mushroom when you want it to fascilitate change.
Also, It would help if you were alone.

From your situation given there are many things you can do to widen your spectrum to the form of a mystical experience.
Pick a night sometime in the future on which you would like to begin the transformation of yourself. I'm not saying to set a specific deadline, but just an approximation, depending on how you feel when that time comes, you can choose to ingest your sacrament (mushrooms, i am assuming) sooner or later.
Now when you do, be sure to allow your awareness to be open, ready, and receptive to everything around you. During the come-up, meditate on your thoughts, hopes, dreams, or inner conflicts you want to dissolve.
As soon as the mushroom takes over you, awakes you, and you consciously realize that it is happening, then set your thoughts aside, and begin looking at the world through a child's eye. Listen to the sounds of nature as if it was a beautiful symphony, look up to the birds as if you have never seen a bird before, breathe the air as if it was visible. Set aside all your preconceived cultural opinions and constructs. You do not need them now. Remember you are looking for an eye-opening experience, something that must replace the old with something that is new. Even if you think you do not know what you are looking for, deep inside you know it. The answers will come to you because you will completely shed off the old skin you wore yesterday, and what you will be left with is a new skin, a fresh, clean, un-programmed reality on which everything becomes undiscovered again.
Explore. Discover. Guide yourself and let yourself be guided. Don't make up your mind, let your mind make it up for you.
With the great Colorado outdoors, i am certain you will create a beautiful experience for yourself that will truly refresh your being.
PM me anytime if i can be of help. Good Luck!

For some reason that brought a tear to my eye, man....
