Acceleration means a change in speed or direction of motion.

Even if I sit still and just go with the constant speed of the surface of the Earth wherever I am, the direction of my motion is constantly changing, because I'm going around in a circle.

So yes, as long as I'm on the surface of the Earth, I'm constantly accelerating.
