There are three things that help me to build mental momentum before writing.
1) Going for a drive. It never fails, my best ideas come when I'm driving alone with music on, and I often pull into parking lots to jot down quick notes.
2) Going to the gym. Again, it's a mindless task with a soundtrack of my choosing. I come up with my best ideas when my brain is on auto-pilot.
3) Cleaning the house. This one is crazy, but if I can zone out while mindlessly scrubbing or cleaning something, I can usually come up with a few great ideas to build on.
