In my case, I always start with some chord sequence in my guitar and when I find something I like, I start to mumble some nonesense to create a melody. When I feel I have something cool that's when I start to put some lyrics.
Something that has helped me several time is to imagine that I am someone else... imagine that you are, let's say, Beyoncé, to name one... you'll see how different ideas and melodies start to appear, just like magic.
Hope you find it helpful

Ooohh great advice! I never thought of channeling my inner Beyoncé, but that sounds like a fun exercise! 😉 it makes sense that imagining different artist, and styles of music could be a way to expand the types of melodies I come up with.
So far, starting with a chord progression seems to be working pretty well for me. I really appreciate your thoughtful comment and advice!
