I show that the CMB is significantly affected and distorted by our proper motion and review various methods to measure such effects. I also discuss several Anomalies possibly present in the Planck CMB sky and their overlap with motions-induced effects: hemispherical power asymmetry, dipolar modulation and quadrupole-octupole alignments.
