Do you have a metronome that emphasizes the downbeat?
Try practicing with this one or this one! Practicing with a single repeating beat is good too, but practicing with the downbeat helps prepare you for playing with a real band! How will you solve the tiny problem when you get off beat? Will you add or subtract a beat? Try it with a free improvisation or with a tune you know! (Who's already practicing Christmas tunes?! I am!)

Fully Diminished 7th Chords - Toccata & Fugue for flute, anyone?
Fully diminished 7th chords are three minor thirds stacked on top of each other. Try it! There are only 3 of them before they repeat. These are good for creating tension! Can you hear them in Bach's Toccata & Fugue?

Let the Clutch out Slowly... and it won't lurch so much!
How does playing music compare to driving?

THE PATH TO SUCCESS IS THROUGH MANY TINY FAILURES
If you are a perfectionist set on 100% perfection then you are doomed to big failure in improvisation! The path TO excellent improvisation is THROUGH many tiny mistakes. Thousands of them! My friend Pat said he became excellent in improvising in Spanish only after he set a goal to make 30 mistakes a day. What do you think would happen to your improv improvement if you started making at minimum 30 mistakes a day?

There's a sales book I read years ago called "Go For No". Same principle I think. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Go-for-No-Yes-is-the-Destination-No-is-How-You-Get-There-9780966398137-Paperback-4th-9780966398137/221866686?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101094067&wmlspartner=wlpa&cn=FY25-ENTP-PMAX_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_entp_e_n&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=22222222298221866686_101094067_0000000000_21407473164&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=&wl4=&wl5=9052833&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=521532765&wl11=online&wl12=221866686_101094067&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21690411341&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIrKNUaHUmxZcQQweXwwRdQp6&gclid=Cj0KCQjwteTUBhD4ARIsAEYjs3pvlHT6bVBQyJLtqPqQWK81-rgAVFEluO9Fq5S7DNe0DAL4IarXh2gaAnpdEALw_wcB
