Play. Strum some chords, get a groove going, something that sounds interesting to you. Then as you're playing, think of what mood it puts you in. Does it call you back to a particular time in your life? Write down some words that come to mind. Then start singing a melody over what you came up with. Don't worry about words, just get some kind of melodic line. Try to have fun with it and approach it in a low-stakes way. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
