Lately, my new goal is to act on impulse. Whenever an idea/thought pops into my head, I try to say/do it as it forms. Conversational topic enters thought? SAY IT. Want to inject into the conversation? I interject. See someone interesting? Approach. Want to do a kino move? Touch.

This is the easiest way for me to enter state. If I am in a logical/stuck in my head mood, I try to do every little small thing as it comes at me. At first I might question myself when something pops into my head. We have all been there... "Should I say that? Oh this isn't the right moment" Quickly you'll learn that the moment the thought popped into your head WAS THE RIGHT MOMENT ALREADY.

Once you start acting on impulse, you will find that the delay between Thought-->Action disappears. You'll literally start doing actions before you realize you are doing them. You gain social momentum and become "in state".

I find that if you decide to act, it is best to do something 100%. If you go 50%, 75% of the way, it ends up being awkward and ill timed. Yes, sometimes it might not be a bright idea to act on every thought that enters your head, but you'll find that more often than not, the first idea was the best idea.

If I am having trouble acting on impulse, i.e., not going with the thoughts as they come, I try to not get upset with the fact that I didn't do it. I just let it go. Like a football player who drops the touchdown pass, I let go of it and get ready for the next play (this is a skill in and of itself). It can be easier to start with small things that don't make you nervous (such as injecting into your social group's conversation) and then gradually building momentum to larger tasks like cold approaches.

You can also go from nothing to being instate instantly if you act on impulse 100%. For example, last weekend, I exited the bar bathroom completely out of state, saw a group of 4 HB-7-8's dancing in a group, and instantly went up and pounced into the group with a Wooohoo!, danced with them and isolated a girl from the group to dance with. And that was my opener.

TL;DR: If it pops into your head, DO IT 100%. If you don't follow through, let it go and act on impulse for the next thought.
