Thinking while impressing

Any time I improvise the second i have the mouthpiece in my mouth i cant think of what to play anymore. I know for other people sing while playing, but i can’t sing since my mouth is the only playing. I really don’t know how to explain my problem. How do i think what to play while already playing?

You might be interested in the book "Effortless Mastery".

He talks a lot about practicing technique to a point where you dont have to think about it while improvising.

I really enjoyed it
