Ways NOT to make sure you start your day well:

-Wake up from the pain of a knotted muscle in your shoulder.
-Read excerpts from the works of Franz Kafka right before bed the night before, ensuring very bizarre dreams.
-Realize that of all the things you have to do today, none of them are things that you would choose over a swift blow to the gut.
-Get a psychosomatic headache from thinking about all the downers you're facing.

Other appropriate factors include grey cloudy skies and dark, depressing rock music.
