No. Effect change is correct. Something can “affect your life”, but “you effect something”. Effect means to make something possible. Affect means something is influencing you.

Thanks. Affect/effect are words that I have to double-check when I write them. :-)

One can also say “you affect an emotion” meaning you show that emotion in your countenance.
