An affirmation is defined as a positive statement, i.e. a favourable formulated sentence. Negative beliefs from the childhood, dogmas which lower the self-worth, we know well enough.
How often did you say to yourself in the past: "You are not able to do that." "You will never make that." "You are not pretty/intelligent/eloquent/successful enough."
The shamanic healing method can crack such dogmas by detecting them, banishing them (e.g. to write them on a piece of paper and burn oder bury them) and replacing them by contrary, positive beliefs then. But it also is enough to say to myself: "I will still learn this." "I will see how to reach this." "There will always be someone who can do this better than I. That's okay. I do my work as best as I can."
It is also possible to increase the self-worth by working with salutary affirmations. To recite these daily will anchor these sentences into subconscious, till it believes in this affirmations just as it believed in the negative ones years ago. The subconscious works in both directions.
