Purposely being more active in your daily life

I just posted this on my wall but thought I would add it here too. Just like we need to be mindful of our eating, we also need to be mindful of our activities/movements throughout our days.
I just went to the basement in my building to get the mail and since I needed to also go to the bank branch on the first floor, I took the stairs. Our stairwell doors are locked past the 2nd floor so I can't do the stairs all the way to my 10th floor office. I don't count these things as "exercise" that I log, but I find myself doing things like the stairs rather than the elevator, or walking the long way around the floor, just being more active in a purposeful way. So my question to all of you is, are you purposely moving more? What do you purposely do in your day that's additional movement or "exercise" just because you can or because it gives you a few more calories burned?
