I think it depends on what your business goals are.

Do you want to have a one-man business that provides a good and reliable income for you? Then raise your rates -- that's one of the knobs you can turn to reduce your workload to something that won't consume your entire life.

Do you want to grow your business into something larger, supporting employees and having numerous clients? Then lower rates will help with this.

Both things are legit, and each has their own advantages and disadvantages. My advice is to clarify what your goal is here so you can better aim for it.

Thanks John, that makes quite a lot of sense actually. I guess I need to think about that more in-depth as I feel like I want both.
