You'd need to specify a reference frame, as there is no universal "zero point". Probably the most sensible choice would be the CMB rest frame though.

That sounds overly complicated I just want to not move, we have an estimate on how fast everything is moving so why not just remove that plus the expansion of the universe to have it hold still
