My expression for today is reality check. This is a noun, and it means to stop doing or thinking something in order to get a more realistic perspective. For example, if someone is obsessing over something, you might say "you need a reality check." Here's an example from a Yahoo! horoscope:"Your unconscious mind is a little hyperactive today, so don't trust your senses if they're telling you something crazy. You may need to get a reality check from a trusted friend before you know which way to turn."
This is a typical example, and the idea is that you need to ask your friend for some perspective.
