When you're in your 20s, you might find yourself in a place where it's necessary to take the time to rid yourself of any baggage, stress, or negative vibes in your life.

We've all been there at one point or another. While it's a pretty crummy place to be in, nothing feels better than coming out on the other side with a totally rejuvenated mindset. Clean that slate, and clean it good.

Here are five telltale signs you're in need of a major toxic cleanse in your life. It's time to turn those unsavory feels into a positive lifestyle change STAT.

1. You're surrounded by negative vibes.

You may be unhappy with your career, love life, friends, or even all of the above. Whatever it is that has you down in the dumps, it's certainly not worth all of the negative energy you're welcoming into your daily routine.

It's such an unhealthy, unpleasant way to live, so why go there?

Now is the time to identify what's bringing you down, and make changes to fix it, or nix it.

Bring the beautiful sunshine back into your life with open arms; you'll feel a million times better.

2. You have a lot of drama in your life.

If your friends or family bring more drama than positive energy into your life, it might be time to reevaluate how much time you're spending with them.

Focus on the good gems who truly have your best interests at heart. We're not in high school anymore, and people who only thrive off of starting drama on a regular basis need to learn how to grow up already.

In the meantime, you certainly don't need that immaturity cramping your style.

3. You're stressed TF out.

It's refreshing to enjoy an escape from reality every now and then, especially when you're super stressed.

Immerse yourself in something you love that will take your mind off of whatever's getting you down.

Get involved in an exercise routine, take on that hot yoga class, or pursue a hobby that clears your mind.

4. You get into arguments easily.

Sure, it's pretty sucky when you don't get your way. But it's important to learn how to recognize when you're wrong, and how to deal with it, no matter how disappointing it may feel.

Learn how to channel that negative energy into something good. Constant arguments with people will only do more harm than good, and it'll probably cause the people you love to start to distancing themselves from you.

5. Your apartment is cluttered AF.

If you're living in a cluttered mess, quit wasting time and organize the heck out of it!

Your home should be a peaceful, serene haven to retreat to after a busy day at work. It should not be a place you dread returning to at the end of the day.
