I'll talk through my own experience here. Affirming things categorically only made me frustrated when I compared what I experienced with what I said. Mostly, when I do achieve anything in my life is when I do something expecting nothing. It's like I have nothing to lose, so why not? When things do work I generally raise the bar and get frustrated with what I achieved, and things start to backfire. I'm trying, through meditation, to achieve things by doing them and expect nothing or to make my expectations more realistic.
