wow, a visitor. hello 

in my opinion,
affirmation is more like concentration. meditation is the result of concentration. affirmation and concentration are both mental direction guided by your will. in meditation, you are experiencing outside the mind or, personality. if we concentrate on the breath and reducing the chatter that is our mind we open ourselves up to the wonders and opportunities available in the present.

similarly, mantras and affirmations are used to still the chatter as it brings a single-minded focus which is one step towards experiencing meditation.
