I suppose it depends on the person.

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, used self-affirmations extensively and credits them with keeping him on-track. There's a bit about it here and here.

Personally, I haven't found self-affirmations to be particularly effective, though. Seems a bit like mental masturbation. But that's just me.
