Time to sit down and write some depressing and anxiety inducing shit. When I'm writing, I have a constant loop of "east hastings" by godspeed you black emperor from the 28 days later soundtrack. Its just perfect desolate oblivion inspiration.
How do you get in the right mindset?
Meditate for ten minutes. Focuses the mind.

@TheStorySmith I have a difficult time with meditation. I have some reasons, I wont get into it, but the short version is that I feel like the guided structured meditation is counter intuitive to my own way.
My mind reaches meditative states when I drive. Its why I chose truck driving as a profession. I want my mind to be for me, and when I drive, I live inside my mind while my body makes money.
That said, I meditated for 8 months, and I'm ready to write.

I pace around my kitchen. I find pacing has a similar effect.
But also find ten minutes of breath meditation is enough to focus my mind, draw me into the immediate, and that helps me write scenes rather than summaries where immediacy is key.
