A quick gut-check — either with yourself or someone else — to make sure your goals, values, or actions are still pointing in the same direction. An align check can be internal ('wait, does this actually match what I said I wanted?') or interpersonal ('are we still on the same page about this?'). It's the human version of a compass calibration, borrowed from corporate alignment meetings but applied to real life: relationships, friendships, long-term plans, and the chronic gap between your stated values and your actual behavior.
Before we sign a lease together we need to do a serious align check — I need to know we want the same things in the next three years.
