It's a constructive way to get your emotions out, given the resources we have at hand.
[There's no sauna here and that's a CRIME but this will have to do.]
Also, something we do sometimes to get negative thoughts away is that we'll write or draw it in the sand, and let the waves wash it away. Then poof! The negative thoughts are gone!
With paper, we could probably just burn it and have the same effect.
Of course it doesn't literally do that. The idea is that it's a mental exercise, to help you leave behind unhelpful thoughts and emotions so they don't eat away at you.
You said you would rather be doing anything else, and there's no saunas here to relax in, so it seemed like the next best option.
