I honestly believe the opposite (affirmations). I think vocalizing that you'll achieve something or some desirable outcome helps ingrain it in your mind and also serves to notify others, to give you motivation to keep your word.
I'm not particularly superstitious in general, but I have found that when I bragged about how long I've gone without being sick, I'd be sick soon after. Probably coincidence, but I no longer talk about it to others.
