Composing underscore-ish Tracks (Advise and Exercises)

I like melodies.

In fact, maybe i like them a little bit too much 😄.

When i start a new piece i normally start with the melody and then find fitting chords to accompany it.

Most of the times this works ok but when it comes to writing an underscore type like track, i really struggle, because my melodies tend to be to active.

So basically the typical problem of overcomplicating things 😅.

Can you guys recommend some sort of exercises to get better at this type of composing / Do you have some tipps , when it comes to writing such tracks ?

Thanks in advance :)
